WHY CHOOSE KODAK PCB FILM?

Our films have been developed exclusively for PCB applications using advanced techniques that came directly out of
Kodak’s century of imaging experience. In fact, more than twenty years ago Kodak invented the nucleated emulsion
technology that has proven so valuable and effective in PCB manufacturing today. And we have been improving thattechnology ever since.

EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY

No matter what the application, achieving the best possible image is critical. The film image affects the quality of yourfinal output. But more than that, a high-quality image is a business requirement. Without excellent images, you can’t
operate efficiently and productively. And of course, bad images cost you money. KODAK PCB Films provide sharp,
high-quality, fine line images as small as 10μm.

EXTREMELY HIGH DURABILITY

You need PCB films that are not only stable but durable. No matter
what your application, you need images you can count on. Images
have to be sharp, accurate, and as free of defects as possible. Films
with limited resistance to abrasions just won’t do the job. KODAK
ACCUMAX Films are tough — ideal for creating extended-life
phototools. These highly-durable films feature a special overcoat thatprotects the emulsion, making them extremely durable and in turn,resistant to abrasions, therefore saving you time and money.

Films that are not dimensionallystable can’t provide the precisionand consistent results that today’s
applications — and your customers —demand. Kodak’s one-sided gel
technology makes our PCB films
extremely stable. They are 25% lesssensitive to humidity compared tothe competition — giving you an
extremely flexible product that isless variable and allows you to work
more efficiently.
Additionally, APR7 Film ispreconditioned by Kodak during themanufacture of the film, using aroll-to-roll process in a clean room
environment. This provides thecustomer with a “ready-to-use”
silver film that has been equilibrated
to the industry’s average
environment of 50% RH.

KODAK ACCUMAX FILMS

FILM PROCESSING CHEMICALSThe family of KODAK ACCUMAX Films provide sharp
line-edge quality for first-generation artwork withfeature sizes down to 10μm. They offer
permanent anti-static performance to resist theattraction of dust and dirt, and an excellent scratch andabrasion resistant overcoat for long phototool life.

Processing is crucial in the production ofhigh-quality phototools. That’s why KODAK Processing
Chemicals have been specifically developed andmanufactured to meet the most demanding PCB
requirements.

Our premium PCB film, KODAK ACCUMAX
Photoplotter Film APR7, provides superior
dimensional stability and makes use of IntegratedBooster-Technology processing for very fine lineresolutions. Other key features include:•
Extended red sensitivity for HN and LD
photoplotters•Matte on the emulsion side provides rapid
draw-down to photo resist

Our PCB films are packaged with an eye toward
ensured cleanliness. This approach to cleanliness not
only results in fewer artifacts and imaging quality
issues, but it makes your work just a little bit easier.
Kodak’s specialized packaging includes:•Durable, vacuum-sealed, multi-layer foil bag
providing abrasion protection during shipping andan oxygen and vapor barrier for longer shelf life•
Clear plastic sleeve protects the foil bag from dust•
Plastic stiffener board helps to optimize
cleanliness•

Unique bag label provides complete productinformation and genealogy for quality control

KODAK ACCUMAX Rapid Access Developer isformulated to be both clean-working andextremely stable. The developer start-up andreplenisher solutions are diluted in the same ratio fromthe same concentrate, making it virtually impossible
to over replenish your process. It also guarantees
consistent day-to-day processing results. The
processing chemicals are packaged in five-litre bottles
designed for easy handling in cleanroom conditions.
The bottles are induction sealed for freshness andto guard against leakage. In addition, all bottles arestamped with a batch code and expiration date tocomply with ISO quality standards.
