Abstract
Abstract A process and nylon release sheet for manufacturing printed circuit boards from epoxy prepregs is disclosed. In such process layers of the prepregs are separated from one another by a release sheet. The release sheet comprises an aliphatic or aromatic nylon or nylon copolymer which is a condensation product of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine. The nylon film contains a heat stabilizer and an inorganic particulate antiblock additive, e.g. diatomaceous earth, glass beads, amorphous silica, talc, mica and molybdenum disulphide. The nylon may be toughened by the addition of a phosphorus-containing catalyst or an epoxide.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
88 words
A process for the manufacture of printed circuit boards from epoxy prepregs, wherein a release sheet is used in such manufacture, characterised in that the release sheet is formed from a nylon composition selected from i) a condensation product of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine and ii) a copolymer of such condensation product, wherein said nylon contains effective amounts of an inorganic particulate anti-block additive and a heat stabilizer, and wherein the release sheet has an effective relative viscosity of at least 50 and is substantially unoriented.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A process for the manufacture of printed circuit boards from epoxy prepregs, wherein a release sheet is used in such manufacture, characterised in that the release sheet is formed from a nylon composition selected from i) a condensation product of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine and ii) a copolymer of such condensation product, wherein said nylon contains effective amounts of an inorganic particulate anti-block additive and a heat stabilizer, and wherein the release sheet has an effective relative viscosity of at least 50 and is substantially unoriented.
