Stablcor Enters Into Licensing Agreement With Switzerland-Based Photochemie AG

Thursday 04. September 2008 - Stablcor Incorporated, a leading provider of technologically advanced carbon composite laminates, today announced that it has signed a new licensing agreement with Switzerland-based Photochemie AG, a quick-turn manufacturer of advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs) to the industrial, telecom, semiconductor, defense, aerospace and medical industries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Photochemie is a company of the Cicor Technologies Group.

“Photochemie has been manufacturing highly reliable, complex multilayer boards for more than 35 years,” said Photochemie’s General Manager, Sven Ehrat. “Our customers are increasingly challenging us in the field of flatness, CTE matching, rigidity and thermal management. STABLCOR mechanical and thermal properties will enable us to provide advanced solutions to our key markets, in particular for the semiconductor test industry.”
“We introduced our STABLCOR technology to Photochemie’s sales representatives, engineering teams and manufacturing staff in an open forum, where we discussed and demonstrated the features, advantages and benefits of the technology,” said Stablcor CTO Kris Vasoya.
“Photochemie AG is a premier PCB manufacturer and we are pleased to have them license our STABLCOR product,” noted Stablcor President Douglas J. Tullio. “We view this new licensing agreement as a further validation of the superiority of our technology,” added Tullio.
STABLCOR Technology
PCBs manufactured using STABLCOR as one or multiple cores will act as a heat spreader, which substantially increases thermal conductivity, provides improved rigidity without increasing the weight of the board, and decreases temperatures in lead-free assemblies. In addition to the improved CTE and thermal management, PCBs manufactured with Stablcor’s licensed technology exhibit the following characteristics: less than 50 percent Z-axis expansion, when compared to boards using Thermount materials, and exhibit no moisture absorption issues.
