COSTA MESA, CA--(Marketwire - September 3, 2008) - Stablcor Incorporated, a leading provider of
technologically advanced carbon composite laminates, today announced that
it has signed a new licensing agreement with Switzerland-based Photochemie
AG, a quick-turn manufacturer of advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs) to
the industrial, telecom, semiconductor, defense, aerospace and medical
industries across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Photochemie is a company
of the Cicor Technologies Group.
"Photochemie has been manufacturing highly reliable, complex multilayer
boards for more than 35 years," said Photochemie's General Manager, Sven
Ehrat. "Our customers are increasingly challenging us in the field of
flatness, CTE matching, rigidity and thermal management. STABLCOR
mechanical and thermal properties will enable us to provide advanced
solutions to our key markets, in particular for the semiconductor test
industry."
"We introduced our STABLCOR technology to Photochemie's sales
representatives, engineering teams and manufacturing staff in an open
forum, where we discussed and demonstrated the features, advantages and
benefits of the technology," said Stablcor CTO Kris Vasoya.
"Photochemie AG is a premier PCB manufacturer and we are pleased to have
them license our STABLCOR product," noted Stablcor President Douglas J.
Tullio. "We view this new licensing agreement as a further validation of
the superiority of our technology," added Tullio.
STABLCOR Technology
PCBs manufactured using STABLCOR as one or multiple cores will act as a
heat spreader, which substantially increases thermal conductivity, provides
improved rigidity without increasing the weight of the board, and decreases
temperatures in lead-free assemblies. In addition to the improved CTE and
thermal management, PCBs manufactured with Stablcor's licensed technology
exhibit the following characteristics: less than 50 percent Z-axis
expansion, when compared to boards using Thermount materials, and exhibit
no moisture absorption issues.
About Stablcor Incorporated
Stablcor is the only provider of a thermally and electrically conductive
carbon composite material which, when incorporated in printed circuit
boards and substrates, controls heat, thermal expansion and increases the
rigidity and strength of circuit boards without increasing the weight. The
patented laminate and the processes to incorporate STABLCOR® into circuit
boards and substrates provide the electronics industry a cost efficient
technology to produce smaller electronic products, while eliminating the
thermal, mechanical and reliability concerns that currently challenge the
semiconductor industry. For more information about STABLCOR, visit
