  • CURABLE PROTECTANT FOR ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES
    Publication number: 20130244383
    Abstract: Latent thermal initiators and protectant compositions that remain shelf stable at elevated temperatures, yet readily cure during a solder bump reflow process or other high temperature processing. The thermal initiators comprise thermally labile cation-anion pairs where the blocked cation prevents cure at low temperatures, and the unblocked cation initiates cure at high temperatures. Also provided is a method of making a preferred initiator comprising the cation [N-(4-methylbenzyl)-N,N-dimethylanalinium] and the anion [N(SO2CF3)2].
    Type: Application
