TEPIC ®, Tris (2,3-Epoxy propyl) Isocyanurate, is a unique symmetrical triazine contains tri-functional epoxy compound which entirely different from conventional bisphenol type epoxy resin. TEPIC is well suited for electronic coatings and plays a crucial role as the the cross-linker integrity of solder mask, in tranparency of LEDs, and in outdoor durability of powder coating.
TEPIC

Applications of TEPIC

TEPIC consists of triazine nucleus and three glycidyl group. TEPIC triazine nucleus imparts outdoor durability due to low UV absorption.
TEPIC three glycigyl group imparts high heat resistance due to high cross link density. TEPIC has a wide variety of industrial applications such as:

  • Print circuit board (PCB)
    – Top-coated ink
    – Solder-resistant ink (PCB solder mask)
    – High performance SRI for PC and Cell Phone
    – Short circuit prevention: Permanent protective coating of PCB
    – Increased heat and solvent resistance– Resolving power up
  • Transparent encapsulate (LED, CCD)
  • Semiconductor encapsulate
  • Plastic, rubber, and adhesive additive
  • Outdoor polyester powder coating

Properties of TEPIC

  • High cross-linking density with excellent heat
    resistance and thermosetting performance.
  • Minimum UV and lighting absorption provide with superb
    visibility.
  • Disperse fine powder with suspension stability for
    reactive latency.
  • Low chlorine contents, inhibit deterioration and electrolytic
    corrosion.
