Abstract

A resinous protective coating useful in the manufacture of printed circuit boards with circuit patterns having a resolution of at least 0.25 mm lines and spaces thereon. The protective coating comprises resins dissolved in solvents, wherein the coating upon being subjected to heat goes from a high viscosity solution to a gel and then to a solid or from a soft "gel-like" state into a solid. The protective coating is resistant to copper electroplating baths, adheres to insulating substrates, adhesive coated base materials as well as metallic substrates and is capable of withstanding the thermal shock of dip soldering.
