The first stage of the reaction sequence includes a reaction between a aziridine cure component and a polyester component. The second stage of the sequence involves a reaction between the aziridine/polyester component and the epoxy component(s). The resulting adhesive material provides a flexible, fully cross linked adhesive material with good Z-axis stability and without the evolution of volatile by-products. This resulting adhesive material can be used in bonding polyimide films to etched circuit patterns to provide a high temperature resistant, solvent resistant, moisture resistant, insulating material with good flow properties under normal electronic circuit processing and environmental conditions.
