Benefits
- Upon decomposition, QPAC®130 leaves less than 10 ppm ash residue, resulting in superior mechanical and/or electrical properties
- Low temperature decomposition is exceptional for thermal sensitive materials and is more efficient than other binders
- QPAC®130 has a higher Tg than QPAC®25 and QPAC®40 offering more stability at higher temperatures
- Decomposition can occur in a wide range of atmospheres including nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, air, oxygen and vacuum
