Nelco N5000 BT Epoxy Laminate and Prepreg

For many, the thought of a laminate is what it took to make their flooring inert and spill-resistant. That’s
where Epoxy Laminate and Prepreg come in. We take these two items, epoxy laminate, and prepreg, and
we use them together to create beautiful finishes for all sorts of projects.

What are they? Epoxy laminates are sheets that have a high-temperature resistant resin coat on one side
and a release agent on the other. The two items can be helpful individually, but these two items create a
layer that is resistant to spills, breaks, and scratches when combined.

What are prepregs? Prepregs are a particular type of resin embedded in the shape of a part. You can then
finish using epoxy laminate and prepreg. It takes some ingenuity to use the prepreg, but it pays off when
done right.

So, what can you do with it when you’ve got epoxy laminate or prepreg? First, you could make a desk or a
dresser or any tabletop. You could turn any item into a shelf. One could wrap an entire bathtub in one coat
of epoxy laminate and prepreg.

You might also use epoxy laminate and prepreg to make cabinets resistant to spills and scratches. So, they
can keep things from breaking as quickly as possible.

Nelco N5000 BT Epoxy Laminate and Prepreg

The N5000 resin system is a polyester resin used to laminate the two products together. It’s gloss white
and extremely flexible. The N5000 can also be helpful on its own in high-performance applications.

The N5000 is helpful with nearly any laminate or prepreg to create beautiful finishes for your projects.

One highly useful product when working with N5000 is the Clear Shot Mist Sealer. It creates a protective
layer that keeps the material from getting contaminated or yellowing in the sunlight. It also acts as an
intercoat to ensure that the paint or finish you’re using is smooth. These are items you’re going to need as
you work with prepregs.

The N5000 is a flexible, hard-wearing, and non-yellowing resin system. It’s resistant to oils,
solvents, etching, and most other chemicals commonly used in the industry. It can be helpful on wood,
metal, and many types of plastic. It has excellent impact resistance while being very clean-cutting for
weldments.

Features

RoHS compliant:

The resin is free of heavy metals restricted by the RoHS directive.

Meets UL 94V-0 and IPC-4101/30 specifications:

The resin is helpful in many industries, and the UL 94V-0 and IPC-4101/30 are two of the most widely
adopted standards. The UL 94V-0 refers to hazardous materials packaging, while IPC 4101/30 refers to
training, safety, health, and environmental management.

Available in a wide variety of constructions:

The N5000 will work with a variety of prepregs and laminate constructions, allowing you to make a wide
variety of finishes. Glass styles and copper weights form the basis of the prepregs. In contrast, the laminate
has a range of choices available.

Vacuum laminated:

The prepregs are very useful for vacuum lamination because they keep in place as you finish the part. In
addition, the N5000 will adhere to the top layer of prepreg without bubbling.

Wide Processing Latitude:

The N5000 has a very wide processing latitude, making it ideal for use in temperatures and pressures. It
uses 90 min press at 190°C and 200-350 psi, with a ramp-up rate of 5-10 °C per minute. It also has a
Unique BT/epoxy blend that results in a wide processing latitude.

CAF* Resistant:

The resin is resistant to CAF, which can cause some epoxy resins to be yellow and go brittle.

Very Good Chemical Resistance:

The N5000 has excellent resistance to solvents and other chemical compounds commonly used in the
industry. However, it is also sensitive to heat, so it is often used in hot-melt adhesives or forced
condensers.

Excellent Reliability and Performance:

The N5000 is helpful in many industries, and it has excellent reliability under extreme conditions. It is also
resistant to cold weather, making it very popular in Europe. Tg 185°C by DSC, 10 sec at 25°C by DMA.

Excellent Electrical Properties:

The N5000 is not a surface coating, so it doesn’t wear off easily, resulting in excellent electrical properties.
It has a high dielectric breakdown strength and maintains the strength of the resin over time. The low, low
Dk, and Df values make it more suitable for high-end uses.

Perfecting Touch:

The N5000 is very hardy, making it perfect for finishing applications that work under various conditions. It
also combines well with epoxy laminates and prepregs, giving you some great results.

BT Resin Chemistry:

The BT resin chemistry is ideal for high-performance industries that use the Hysol N5000. It is low in
viscosity, allowing you to have better control over the final finish. The BT resin chemistry also helps with UV
stability and durability, making it a very useful resin for this application.

Applications

1. Cabinet and furniture finishing:

The N5000 can be used to make wooden cabinets, furniture, and other items that need resistance to spills
and scratches. It also helps to reduce the risk of warping as it’s harder than many other laminates.

2. High-Density Interconnects:

This resin is often used in the connection of high-density interconnect boards. It can resist heat and
oxidation, keeping the connectors even more durable.

3. Wireless Communications:

This resin is often used in wireless communications, as it does not yellow or become brittle over time. It is
also very flexible and resistant to UV rays. In addition, the N5000 will not further degrade when exposed to
magnetic fields, making it an excellent choice for this application.

4. Direct Chip Attach:

This resin has a high dielectric breakdown strength, making it suitable for high-end applications that
require high performance. It is also suitable for wire bonding and direct chip attach.

5. MCM-Ls:

This resin has excellent moisture resistance, making it perfect for use with metalized films and MCM-Ls. In
addition, as it is resistant to CAF, it will not become brittle or yellow from overexposure to the sun.
