Furthermore, there may be mentioned ceramics, especially those with low or negative coefficients of expansion.
- the advantages of the powder coating of the invention are that it is possible, in order to optimise the properties of the product, to select from a variety of fillers the one which best satisfies the relevant requirements. For example, a given epoxy resin mixture can, thus, be modified as needed. Even fillers which are difficult to process can be incorporated without problems. Thus, electric properties such as the dielectric constant (D ), the dielectric loss factor (tan ⁇ ), the breakdown resis- tance, the surface resistance, the volume resistance and mechanical properties such as bending strength, impact strength, tensile strength as well as further material properties such as the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), flammability and others can be adapted as desired.
- the filler does not have to be solvable or stably dispersable in organic solvents. Consequently, it is possible to use materials as fillers which could previously not or only hardly be used in sequential build-up (SBU), such as the aforementioned organic fillers.
- the electrical and mechanical properties of the powder coating and of the coating layer prepared therefrom can be influenced and controlled by the fillers.
- fillers with a low dielectric constant such as PTFE, FEP and kaoline may be employed in order to prepare coating layers with a correspondingly low dielectric constant.
- the mechanical properties which can be influenced by the fillers comprise, in particular, properties such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, impact strength, and tensile strength.

- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- the dielectric constant of the coating in the cured state is ⁇ 3.8, preferably ⁇ 3.6.
- glass transition temperatures of the cured formulation of above 150°C, preferably above 160°C, are preferred.

- competibilizing polymers are, for example, di- or triblock co- polymers such as styrene/butadiene/styrene or styrene/butadiene/methyl meth- acrylate blockcopolymers (Atofina, France).
- the powder coating of the invention can contain conventional additives which are conventionally used in the processing of epoxy resins.
- the components (a), (b), (c) and, optionally, (d) and (e) are first dry-milled to give a powder.
- This procedure must be used, in particular, when certain components are difficult to incorporate. These are then incorporated into each other beforehand.
- Such master batches are also commercially available.
- the resins for example, it is possible to mix two resins beforehand. This course of action is used, in particular, when one of the resins has a low glass transition temperature.
- this procedure may be used when certain components are used only in small amounts.
- the aforementioned components or master batches are premixed and milled in the dry state. Before milling, the mixture may optionally be cooled.
- the material After thorough mixing (and optional cooling), the material is milled in the dry state while maintaining a powder and the powder is subsequently extruded. This extrusion provides complete homogenisation of the components and is a key step in the overall process.
- the material is milled in the dry state and the oversize material is separated, wherein a sieve size in the range of less than 10 to 500 ⁇ m and preferably less than 100 ⁇ m is suitably used, which guarantees a corresponding particle size.
- Classifying mills such as Hosekawa MicroPul are particularly suitable for milling.
- the aforementioned melt extrusion is preferably carried out in such a way that the conversion of the reactive component is less than 20%, preferably less than 10%. This reaction is due to the fact that a melt is formed upon extrusion.
- the degree of conversion can be determined by the skilled person by thermal analysis.
- the cor- responding extrusion parameters (for obtaining such a degree of conversion) can be determined by the skilled person by simple experiments. They depend on the type of extruder and the type and amount of the components employed. For example, a Buss co-kneader can be used as extruder, in which the aforementioned components are extruded. As mentioned above, the mass is subsequently cooled and reduced to small pieces.
- the final powder coating mixtures preferably have an average particle size in the range of 1 to 500 ⁇ m, especially of 10 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the powder coating thus prepared is used according to the invention for the preparation of coating layers on substrates which are subsequently employed in the manufacture of printed circuit boards.
- the invention further provides a process for preparing coating layers on substrates, comprising the following steps:
- thin dielectric coating layers i.e., layers with a thickness of about 5 to 500 ⁇ m
- the process of the invention may be used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards and, in particular, in the so-called sequential-build-up process (SBU).
- SBU sequential-build-up process
- Other possible uses are in the application of solder stop masks and in all other processes in which the preparation of thin layers is required and which are characterized in that fillers are used which are not or only poorly soluble in common solvents under normal process conditions.
- the powder coating can be applied to the substrate by various methods.
- the application of the powder coating can be effected, for example, by spraying, electromagnetic brush coating, powder cloud coating or roller coating.
- the spraying can be carried out, for example, by coronar charging or triboelectric charging. These processes are known to the person skilled in the art. Triboelectric charging is preferably used in the process of the invention.
- the powder coating can be applied by means of rollers.
- the powder is applied to the substrate by means of a sieve and subsequently treated with a roller.
- the roller can be heated.
- NIR near infrared
- the melting is preferably be effected by NIR. This method is described in WO 99/47276, DE 10109847, in Kunststoffe (1999), 89 (6), 62-64 and in Journal fur Oberflachentechnik (1998), 38 (2), 26-29.
- the step of melting is particularly important. Upon melting, a change in viscosity occurs, i.e., the powder first melts. The viscosity of the melt decreases. Subsequently, curing and, thus, a rise in viscosity takes place. This operation must be conducted in the process of the invention in such a way that the viscosity of the melt is initially as low as possible and subsequently good flow is achieved without formation of bubbles, such that a non-porous film is obtained.
- An essential advantage of the process of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the coating layer is first melted, remains flowable and can, thus, be used for the preparation of a multilayer structure.
- the invention further provides a process of the preparation of a multilayer structure comprising the following steps:
- the powder coating is preferably applied by the aforementioned electromagnetic brush technology (EMB).
- EMB electromagnetic brush technology
- the melting is preferably effected by the NIR method. In this way, pore- free coating layers are obtained. It is an important feature of this process that the curing takes place only in step (iv), i.e., after formation of the multilayer structure. In this connection, it is important that the films are still flowable during the preparation of the structure.
- the curing of the melted powder coated layers takes place during pressing or lamination.
- the pressing or lamination takes place under vacuum and pressure, the corresponding parameters being known to the skilled person.
- a Lauffer press or an Adara press can be used.
- the pressing cycles are to be adapted to the individual material used.
- Typical substrates are, in particular, copper sheets or polymeric support sheets. These may further be combined with woven or non-woven fabrics of glass fibre or aramide fibre.
- the process of the invention comprises the following steps:
- the powder coating is preferably applied by the aforementioned electromagnetic brush technology (EMB).
- EMB electromagnetic brush technology
- the invention further provides a process for the preparation of coating layers on substrates comprising the following steps:

- the solids content of the dispersion is generally 20 to 70 wt-%, preferably 30 to 60 wt-%.
- the powder is milled with water, optionally adding further additives.
- further additives which may be employed in an amount of 0.1 to 5%, preferably 0.5 to 2.5 wt-%, wetting agents, dispersants, antifoaming agents and degassing agents as well as flow-control agents may be added.
- wetting agents and dispersants examples include solutions of high molecular weight block copolymers containing groups with pigment affinity, such as Disperbyk 160, 170 or 182, acrylate copolymers containing groups with pigment affinity, such as Disperbyk 116, solutions of alkylammonium salts, such as Disperbyk 140, solutions of salts of unsaturated polyamino amides and of acidic or polar esters, such as Anti Terra U or Disperbyk 101 (all from Byk Chemie, Wesel, Germany), polycarboxylic acid polymers with or without polysiloxane copolymer such as Byk P 104 or Byk 220 S, fluorine-containing wetting agents such as Zonyl FSN or Zonyl FSH (both from DuPont) and non-ionic surfactants such as products of the Surfynol series from Air Product, Utrecht, NL.

- the process of the invention has the advantage that the fillers are located in the coating particles and, therefore, no demixing occurs because the filler has been incorporated into the coating particles, which is not soluble in water.
- insoluble coating particles are used which contain the filler homogeneously dispersed therein and, therefore, no concentration differences occur.
- the particles In order to be able to obtain a stable dispersion, the particles must have an aver- age size which is smaller than 10 ⁇ m, preferably smaller than 7 ⁇ m.
- the particle size can be determined by means of a Coulter counter.
- a heat treatment takes place which serves to remove the dispersion medium and to melt the powder coating layer.
- the heat treatment can be carried out such that, after applying the dispersion to the substrate, the film is first dried and melted and subsequently cured. Alternatively, only a single step of drying, melting and curing the powder coating can be carried out after applying the dispersion to the substrate.
- the aforementioned methods are suitable for the heat treatment and, in particular, the melting of the coating layer.
- the invention provides a process for preparing a multilayer structure, comprising the following steps:
- the powder coating of the invention and the process of the invention provide a possibility to prepare coating layers on substrates, in particular, printed circuit boards, without requiring any organic solvent.
- the material to be applied is a one-component system, i.e., the binder (epoxy resin) and the hardener are already present in the actual composition and do not have to be mixed immediately before application.
- a further advantage compared to dry films is the storage stability at normal temperatures of transport and storage.
- storage stable refers to a resin composition whose components do not react and, in particular, a composition whose exotherm does not decrease by more than 10% over a period of about three months (upon storage at 25°C). The invention is illustrated in more detail by the following examples.
- the powder had a glass transition temperature of 45°C (DSC).
- the powder was applied to a cop- per sheet in a thickness of 32 ⁇ m by means of an EMB machine (Epping). After melting at 160°C over 5 min, the powder showed excellent flow. The film is free of bubbles.
- the layer thickness of the dielectric was determined to be 45 ⁇ m.
- the T g (DSC) was 172°C.
- Example 1 The powder of Example 1 , after dry milling, was sieved through a 100 ⁇ m sieve. 250 g of this powder were stirred and mixed with 374 g demineralised water, 0.37 g Surfynol 440, 2.77 g Disperbyk 185 and 4.16 g antifoaming agent Byk 028. This dispersion was milled twice in a DynoMill (Bachofen, Basel, CH) (grinding material ZrO 2 , diameter 0.8 mm; gap width 0.3 mm; motor speed 10 m/s).
- DynoMill DynoMill
- Example 3 The powder of Example 3 was suspended in MPA. The material formed a viscous mass which deposited at the bottom of the vessel and could not be applied to a copper sheet.
