• Easy, contaminant-free release from resins and separator plates.
• Proven worldwide performance and acceptance since 1984.
• Operating temperatures up to 400ŒF / 204ŒC for up to 2 hours.
• 50% thicker than other release films for easier handling.
• Smooth surface finish, with superior conformal properties.
• Free of embedded impurities.
• Extremely low X-Y axis shrinkage and reduced static potential.
• Essentially inert: no out-gassing, no plate residue, no interlaminar adhesion influence, no vacuum system contamination.
• Environmentally friendly: no Ozone Depleting Chemicals, no Flourines.
• Available in custom-sized tooled sheets and rolls shipped ÏJust-in-TimeÓ from exclusive local Distributors around the world.

• Rigid Multilayer Panels: To contain resin squeeze-out; to buffer and protect copper from damaged plates; to minimize stress effect from aluminum plates; to reduce frequency of plate cleaning; to increase plate life; to prevent press pads from sticking to plates or bonding to tooling pins.
  (See lay-up recommendation)
• Flex, Rigid-flex Panels: To contain adhesive squeeze-out; for complete conformity to part topography; to provide easy separation of conformal hydraulics and driver pads from PCB surfaces.
