	OVERVIEW		Prevents Damage to Inner/Outerlayer Panels PACOGARD Panel Separator or "Slip" Sheets are a line of proprietary, process-enhancement products specifically engineered to protect both Inner & Outerlayer PCB Panels from scrap resulting from handling Damage, excessive Oxidation and Airborne Particulates. PACOGARD also significantly reduces "False Alarms" at AOI.
	COST-SAVING BENEFITS OF PANEL INTERLEAVING		Quantifiable reduction of “False Alarms“ at AOI due to Handling Damage and surface Particulates Reduction of Handling Scratches, Dents, And Electrical Opens due to panel movement Dramatic slowdown of Surface Oxidation [a cause of poor adhesion of Photoresist, Metal Plating, and Solder Mask] increases “hold times“ significantly. Protects panel surfaces from airborne prepreg Dust, Fibers, and destructive Fumes. Back to top
	FEATURES		Clean, fiber-free, inert, releasable surfaces, are color-coded to eliminate cross-area Process Contamination. Clad on both sides with a polymeric barrier coating that is both chemical and moisture resistant, can withstand moisture-relief baking temperatures [250°F/121°C]. Negative static potential and a low Coefficient of Friction to prevent cosmetic abrasion of sensitive copper and oxided surfaces. Built-in durability to provide multiple reuse. Back to top
	TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION		PACOGARD Panel Interleaving or “Slip“ Sheets, in standard format, are a proprietary, layered c o n s t ruction consisting of a cellulosic core sandwiched between “White“ polymeric barrier layers that are fully releasable. In addition to “White“ [lamination area usage], PACOGARD is available in “Yellow“ [imaging area usage] and “Green“ [plating area usage] colors. Colors assure that there is no cross-area chemical or particulate Contamination and recycling is facilitated. PACOGARD#9000, approximately .009" [225µ] thick, offers self-supporting rigidity, maximum panel protection, and durability. PACOGARD #3500, approximately .0035" [85µ] thick, is engineered to maximize productivity in automated handling systems. Though not self-supporting, it incorporates all the features of #9000 at reduced cost. Back to top
