Application Case Studies
Phoret™ is widely used in electronic and optical materials, including coating, resist, and paste applications. It is soluble in alkali, has excellent developability, and can be used as a photolithography resist binder with optimal combinations in terms of molecular weight and acid value. Its high transparency, substrate adhesion, high refractive index, and yellowing resistance make it suitable for electronic and advanced material applications as a functional coating binder.
Advantages of using Phoret™
- Homogeneous pigment dispersion
- Improved adhesion to substrates
- High heat yellowing resistance
