Method for making a stencil with a borax-free, low-dichromate, casein photoresist composition

摘要

The method comprises applying to a surface to be etched a coating of a borax-free, low dichromate, casein photoresist liquid composition comprising an acid-precipitated casein, sodium hydroxide as an alkalizing agent, an alkali dichromate photosensitizer and water. The composition has a pH in the range of 6.0 to 7.0, and reduced quantities of the alkalizing agent and photosensitizer compared to prior coating compositions.
