Polyimide is a legacy material that provides a solution for printed circuit board designs that require increased thermal performance, higher operating temperatures and severe environment capability. However, there are some technical issues with Polyimide that Advanced Circuits wants you to be mindful of. Most of these laminates and prepregs are available in Brominated and Non-Brominated blends. Non-MDA (Methylenedianiline) formulations also tend to be less brittle. An issue to be careful about is the moisture absorption characteristics, as Polyimide can exhibit higher leakage as compared to FR-4 resin systems.
