Abstract
Abstract A method for producing a resin rich epoxy-glass prepreg and laminate wherein the epoxy-glass prepreg is given a first pass through an impregnation tower and impregnated with dicyandiamide cured brominated bisphenol type epoxy modified with a polyfunctional additive and advanced to 80-85% of complete cure. The prepreg is given a second pass through the tower and given a dip coating of, for example, brominated bisphenol A which is advanced to 80-85% of complete cure. The resulting prepreg serves as the outer sheet of a multi-layer printed circuit board and it has a resin rich surface necessary for chemical roughening and subsequent additive plating.
