Metallized polyimide film containing a hydrocarbyl tin compound

摘要

A vacuum metallized polyimide film comprising an aromatic polyimide layer containing a hydrocarbyl tin compound in oxidation states (II) or (IV) as an additive and a metal plated layer bonded integrally with a high bonding strength or high adhesion through a vacuum deposited metal layer without the use of an adhesive. The metallized polyimide film can be used for flexible printed circuits and multilayer printed wiring boards, as well as for heaters, antennas and antistatic films.
