Non-Stick Temperature Diffusers
OVERVIEW

For Lamination of Rigid Multilayer and Flexible Circuits

PACO•PRESS™ “Green” Pad is an environmentally-friendly, multi-use Press Pad, specifically engineered to improve the high-pressure Lamination Process of Rigid Multilayer, Flexible Coverlayer Printed Circuit Boards, and other like applications. As such, PACO•PRESS is an economical, non-stick alternative to “ Blue” and “Brown” Kraft Paper, offering superior performance while reducing materials costs significantly.

PACO•PRESS serves three critical Functions: to accurately Control Heat Input; to Equalize Pressure Application; and to Reduce Cost.

   
Comparative PRESSPROBE Pressure Profiles
Brown Kraft Paper [6X] vs. Blue Pad [3X] vs. PACO•PRESS “Green” Pad [3X]. Tests were performed on Panel at 28 gms./cm2 [400 p.s.i.].

Standard Kraft Paper
Blue Pad
PACOPRESS #7000
"Green Pad"

Using the PRESSPROBE Test, the more uniform the "red" color is across the panel surface, the more uniform is the applied pressure.

ADVANTAGES

  • Control of Heat Rise & Process Flexibility
    PACO•PRESS controls Heat Input with predictable and repeatable results due to its uniform Fiber Formation, tightly controlled Thickness, Weight, and Moisture specifications. Multiple sheets can be used and reused in build-up to reach Heat Rise Specifications.
  • Equalization of Pressure throughout the Lamination Book
    Use of PACO•PRESS eliminates Lamination Measles, Inner-layer Slippage and “white” Corners or Edges. PACO•PRESS enables tight Dielectric Thickness Control and reduces Image and Glass-cloth Transfer into the Copper Foil, as well as low-pressure Prepreg Blisters.
  • Cost Effective
    PACO•PRESS is engineered to withstand four [4] Lamination Press Cycles, while offering superior Heat and Pressure Control. The result: significant Cost Savings.

FEATURES

  • Optimized thickness of 0.68mm [0.027”] to allow micro-adjustment of Heat Input and to allow rotating new and re-used PACO•PRESS sheets in the Lamination Book.
  • Engineered weight of 350 gms/M2 [215 lbs./3000 sq. ft.] and lower density to give ample Z-axis compression resulting in improved overall surface Pressure Equalization.
  • Proprietary release technology assures NO sticking to Steel Separator Plates.
  • High Temperature resistance of 246°C [475°F].
  • Low Moisture Content to reduce liquid build-up in vacuum systems and to minimize Thermal change when re-used.
  • Low fiber Dusting and Contamination.
  • No resin, binders, or fillers, essentially sulfur free, with reduced odor and no solvents to attack vacuum systems.
  • Environmentally Friendly - suitable for re-pulping, landfill disposal or incineration.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION


PACO•PRESS is an advanced, cellulosic-based product, engineered specifically to meet the performance requirements of both Rigid Multilayer, and Flexible Printed Circuit Board manufacture. PACO•PRESS is manufactured to PCB industry standards, using virgin fibers guaranteeing a consistent density and even profile across the entire area of the sheet.

PACO•PRESS is superior to commodity “Blue” and “Brown” Kraft papers because it is engineered and tightly-controlled to maintain Thickness and Weight relationships, to eliminate Contaminants, to keep Moisture low, and to provide Non-Stick performance, run-after-run.
