Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a base film having a thickness from 8 to 152 microns, a 60 degree gloss value from 2 to 35, an optical density greater than or equal to 2 and a dielectric strength greater than 1400 V/mil. The base film comprises a chemically converted (partially or wholly aromatic) polyimide in an amount from 63 to 96 weight percent of the base film. The base film further comprises a pigment and a matting agent. The matting agent is present in an amount from 1.6 to 10 weight percent of the base film, has a median particle size from 1.3 to 10 microns, and has a density from 2 to 4.5 g/cc. The pigment is present in an amount from 2 to 35 weight percent of the base film. The present disclosure is also directed to coverlay films comprising the base film in combination with an adhesive layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A base film comprising:
A. a chemically converted polyimide in an amount from 63 to 96 weight percent of the base film, the chemically converted polyimide being derived from:
a. at least 50 mole percent of an aromatic dianhydride, based upon a total dianhydride content of the polyimide, and
b. at least 50 mole percent of an aromatic diamine based upon a total diamine content of the polyimide;
B. a pigment, other than carbon black, present in an amount from 2 to 35 weight percent of the base film; and C. a matting agent that:
a. is present in an amount from 1.6 to 10 weight percent of the base film,
b. has a median particle size from 1.3 to 10 microns, and
c. has a density from 2 to 4.5 g/cc; and
d. includes titania, mixtures of titania and at least one of alumina, barium sulfate and silica.

2 . A base film in accordance with claim 1 wherein:
a. the aromatic dianhydride is selected from the group consisting of:
