Abstract

Abstract A photosensitive resin composition comprising (a) 20 to 75 parts by weight of a urethane diacrylate or dimethacrylate compound obtained by reacting trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate and/or isophorone diisocynate dihydric alcohol and an acrylic or methacrylic monoester of a dihydric alcohol, (b) 20 to 75 parts by weight of a linear polymeric compound having a glass transition temperature of about 40° to 150° C., and (c) a sensitizer and/or a sensitizer system which generate free radicals owing to actinic light, is excellent in heat resistance, resistance to thermal shock and solvent resistance, and is suitable for forming a soldering mask. Further, a photosensitive element produced by forming a layer of the above-mentioned composition on a support gives a protective coating film excellent in heat resistance, resistance to thermal shock and solvent resistance, and is particularly suitable for a soldering mask.
