FR402 consists of a modified tetrafunctional epoxy resin system engineered for multilayer applications that require performance characteristics exceeding those of difunctional epoxies.

The formulation of FR402 is designed to enhance throughput and accuracy of laser based Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) equipment. FR402 offers superior resistance to chemical and thermal degradation.
