MultiBond MP is a uniquely formulated copper conversion coating for multilayer printed circuit boards, combining micro-roughening with an embedded organic coating. MultiBond MP is used in high-throughput automated horizontal conveyorized systems for fast, consistent processing of thin core innerlayers. It is the ideal bonding process for controlled impedance innerlayers on advanced resin systems. With up to an 80% reduction in concentrated copper waste and low-etch depth, MultiBond MP is the industry’s choice for innerlayer manufacturing.

OmniBond Plus+ is a specially formulated oxide that provides optimum innerlayer adhesion in multilayer printed circuit boards. It produces a fine grained copper oxide which gives excellent results on epoxy, multifunctional, and polyimide boards. The OmniBond Plus+ process is the only production-proven oxide dissolution system offering pink ring elimination and lower incidence of high-resistance shorts than DMAB reduced oxide. Both processes offer multi-resin compatibility for optimum process flexibility.

Our AlphaPrep alternative oxide processes are used worldwide. With offerings that provide moderate surface roughness from 35 to 70 µ”, and are capable of high copper loading before bath replacement, AlphaPrep technology provides roughness on most material and copper types.

COBRA BOND alternative oxide has more than ten years of proven performance, and is well suited to many types of board material and copper surfaces. A roughness range of 35 to 50 µ”, and a very high copper bath loading capability, makes COBRA BOND the roughness process of choice for shops needing lower maintenance.

M-Speed HF is a complete process that improves signal integrity for high-speed innerlayers. The uniquely formulated M-Speed HF process is developed from our decades of leadership with innerlayer technologies. The low-etch oxide alternative coating provides low surface profiles and reliable adhesion for high frequency applications. M-Speed HF creates an exceptional surface topography on all three exposed sides of the copper trance to ensure electrical properties meet the needs of high frequency designs. The superior adhesion and maximum thermal resistance afforded by M-Speed HF is achievable, despite lower peak to valley roughness on the copper surface, making it superior for fine traces. The M-Speed HF system achieves this industry-leading performance in as few as three process steps. This surface provides unparalleled innerlayer bonding to a wide variety of resin systems and dielectric films.
