Certain aluminum salts of organic phosphorus acids are found to have a strong effect on inhibiting the epoxy cure rate in epoxy formulations. The substances act catalytically and can be used at a low level in an epoxy formulation to adjust the reactivity of a resin formulation to give longer gel times. Compositions and methods of preparing and using the compositions are disclosed.
An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition that has a variety of properties required for a material for printed circuit boards such as high flame retardancy, and can attain a cured product having high moldability, high resistance against chemicals in a desmearing step, and a small coefficient of thermal expansion, a prepreg comprising the resin composition, a laminate including the prepreg, a metallic foil clad laminate including the prepreg, and a printed circuit board including the prepreg. A resin composition comprising an acrylic-silicone copolymer (A), a halogen-free epoxy resin (B), a cyanic acid ester compound (C) and/or a phenol resin (D), and an inorganic filler (E).
A flame retardant phosphorus element-containing epoxy resin composition substantially free of halogen, including:
(I) a non-halogenated epoxy resin material selected from:
(A) a non-halogenated phosphorus element-containing epoxy resin;
(B) a mixture of:
(1) a non-halogenated, non-phosphorus element-containing epoxy resin, and
(2) a phosphorus element-containing compound; or
(C) the reaction product of:
(1) a non-halogenated epoxy resin; and
(2) a phosphorus element-containing compound; or
(D) a combination of two or more of components (A) to (C); and
(II) (A) a multi-functional phenolic crosslinking agent having a hydroxy functionality of at least 2; (B) a material which forms a multifunctional phenolic crosslinking agent having a hydroxy functionality of at least 2, upon heating or (C) a mixture of components (A) and (B); in an amount of from about 50% to about 150% of the stoichiometric amount needed to cure the epoxy resin. Electrical laminate circuit boards having reduced flammability may be made from these compositions.
