Flame retardant radiation sensitive element

摘要

A radiation sensitive element comprising a support bearing a layer of photopolymerizable composition which comprises (1) at least one addition polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound, (2) an initiator activatable in the ultraviolet to visible region of the spectrum, and (3) at least 20% by weight of a polymeric binder containing at least 5% by weight of acrylonitrile, the composition having present at least 5% by weight halogen based on the total weight of composition covalently bonded to an aromatic moiety of at least one of said components of the composition and/or a conjugated vinyl component. The elements withstand soldering and are flame retardant and are useful as solder masks.
