  • Patent number: 6703124
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nonflammable epoxy resin composition for using a thin copper film laminate, which is applied to a printed circuit board (PCB), and using the same. The present invention provides for nonflammable epoxy resin composition for using a thin copper film laminate, comprising bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, multifunctional epoxy resin, an imidazole-based curing catalyst, and a curing retarder, and using the same. As described above, since the ring-open of the epoxy group is prompted by an imidazole catalyst, without the use of dicyandiamide, epoxy polymer reaction occurs due to the chain-reaction of epoxy group, and the glass-transition temperature is 170° C. or greater, the nonflammable epoxy resin composition for using a thin copper film of the present invention has a strong heat-resistance, lower dielectric constant, controllable gelation time, and does not require the use of non-harmful catalysts to the human body.
