China's PCB screen printing inks to achieve the

highest in the world

As the reform deepens and technological
development in China from a backward PCB
ink-producing countries jumped to become the
world's advanced countries, China's

PCB output value in 2003 in the world rankings,

the PCB industry has developed rapidly
leddevelopment of peripheral industries and
related industries. Whether the PCB with
high-grade cutting-edge equipment, instruments,
meters, or materials have rapid development, but
also jumped from a major importer into a major
exporter of equipment and materials technical
indicators have reached international standards,
especially PCB screen printing ink to the
world.

Historical Review and Application Status

The first one printed circuit board come out in
1959, around the early 1960s for mass
production. Initially as a mask for the
manufacture of printed circuit board graphics is
a heavy chromate colloidal sensitizer.
A photosensitive mask three stages of
development

(1) shellac photosensitive mask: This is the

oldest technology is the introduction of the
former Soviet Union, due to the complex process
of ethanol developer will soon be eliminated.
glue photosensitive mask: this technology is
the process of plate and the system of signs
transplant, economical and practical.Later, the
technical staff led to the development of
physical solid membrane and chemical solid
membrane technology, soon to be promoted, but not
long storage at high temperatures.
polyvinyl alcohol photosensitive mask:
available for more than a month after such a mask
with a good, stable physical and chemical
properties than the glue mask made great progress.
Three mask to meet the growing market demand, in
view of the lines of the printed circuit board
graphics mostly in 1.5mm or more, there is an

urgent need for a new process instead.

(2) homemade screen printing resist ink
Mesh are silk mesh and mesh specifications less
plate method is the use of engraved red film and
etching patterns on reverse painting
"method. Although the home-made screen
printing resist ink there are many inadequacies,
but it is also China's PCB manufacturing graphics
of a leap.
(3) Screen Printing commercialization of the
resist ink
Ink makers to see strong market opportunities of
the Chinese PCB ink, and soon launched a variety
of models, different performance screen printing
resist ink PCB ink market. Hong Kong, Japan, the
United States with the fastest speed of the
company's PCB screen printing resist ink to push
our country, and the establishment of a joint
venture company, brand ink stable performance,

easy to use, the most prominent feature is in the

process of faded ink has been greatly improved
- went to Mexico with the alkali-soluble,
eliminating the need for solvent cleaning and
solvent pollution. With the increase in the
board of TV panels and tape recorders, UV-curable
resist printing inks available, significantly
accelerated the rate of production of the PCB
board. 100% solid content of the ink solvent
evaporation is the material of choice in the
circuit board graphics processing quickly in one
to two years to the country, have sometimes
appeared to outstrip supply, ink manufacturers
to create unlimited business opportunities.
Optical imaging plating resist ink
With the expansion of the PCB material market,
a pattern plating method, also known as the
anti-plating method, plating resist ink was
introduced into China, the most prominent
advantages are: both as a general resist inks
acid in etching and in

certain conditions

alkali etching can also be resistant plated

Cu-resistant plated with PbSn-resistant plating
of Sn-resistant plating NiAu, and resolution up
to 0.05mm/0.05mm line spacing / line width, as
precision circuit board processing to
create conditions.
It became one of the main material for making
graphics, medium and small enterprises do not
need special equipment, widely used in the PCB
industry, has now become the largest amount of
an ink in the PCB industry.
Second, the solder resist ink
Solder resist ink to permanently stay in
the

PCB surface

protection circuit,

insulation, it can also protect the line to the

pad and the hole wall painted of Sn in the blowing
of Sn, the crest and stick welding disk into the
components welding.

The development of a solder resist ink

The surface coating of the printed circuit board
solder resist ink origin in the late 1960s,
China's PCB solder resist ink began in the late
1970s, start from import into the domestic, but
also heatset characters ink.

By TV and tape

recorders, VCRs PCB heat limited conditions, the

UV curable solder resist ink have been
published. A few years later from the varieties
have increased: Bright, matte, Gyrosigma,
wrinkles type except in different colors for the
user to select.
Optical imaging solder mask
Thermosetting solder resist ink or UV solder
resist ink, the coating method is screen printing
graphics reveal the PCB pad.

However, with the

printed circuit board graphics and pad lines line

spacing gradually thicken, and has been unable
to meet the requirements of the pump to screen

printing graphics. Solder dry film popular a

few years, but because the materials are
expensive, dedicated vacuum film manufacturing
technology is not widely available, the
complexity of the operation process, low yield,
now this technology has been eliminated. Today
suitable for high density PCB-ray imaging solder
resist ink, with thermosetting and UV solder
performance, the most prominent is its
resolution edge basic and optical imaging
plating resist ink quite.
(3) application and popularization of the
optical imaging solder mask ink
Although the scope of the solder resist ink
thermosetting solder resist inks and UV curable
ink application, but these are only for
single-sided and low-end electronic products,
PCB production in high-end printed circuit board
is also required optical imaging solder resist
ink. As the curtain coating technology

development, and a general increase of the

density of

PCB line, optical imaging solder

mask ink to continue to use spreads to the medium

and small enterprises.
From the printed circuit board ink market,
optical imaging resist plating resist ink and
optical imaging solder mask ink is not only the
printed circuit board ink, it is the main
material in the high-precision printed circuit
board production.
, PCB ink Market Analysis
1.PCB ink prices continue to decline
With the rise of the PCB status of our country
in the world, the price of domestic PCB for
several years continuously decreased by 4-5
times, small and medium enterprises most
affected. PCB prices continued to fall, the
corresponding price reduction for the printing
of raw materials and auxiliary materials used,

and the price of basic and PCB dropped

considerable.
2 optical imaging of anti plating ink application
of universal
In view of optical imaging plating resist ink
prices are now significantly lower than the dry
film of about 2 to 3 times, and the utilization
of up to 95% or more, but without adding any
equipment and plant investment in recent years,
many manufacturers quickly Use a dry film
changed the use of optical imaging plating resist
ink. After a period of time, due to a
significant reduction in costs, shorten the
production cycle, many multilayer plant also use
this ink to complete the processing of the inner
plate and received satisfactory results. The
large dual-panel manufacturing plant also uses
a double-sided baking Road automatic line
production methods, the multiplier effect. So
far, the application of the ink basically

popularized the SMEs.

With the internal

migration of PCB plant in Hong Kong and Taiwan,

some of the advanced coating methods such as:
spraying, electrostatic spraying, dipping into
the mainland of China, the plating resist ink of
the application and promotion of optical imaging
played an important large role in promoting.
