Abstract

A light sensitive composition and process for using said composition. The light sensitive composition comprises a phenolic resin, a multifunctional epoxy or vinyl compound, a photoinitiator and a thermal crosslinking agent. The process for using the same comprises application of the light sensitive composition to a substrate, drying of the same, exposing the dried coating to activating radiation, partially heat curing the coating, developing the coating and thermally curing the developed image. The composition is especially useful as a solder mask.
