Laminates
Insulectro stocks, distributes and supports Copper Clad Laminate systems for both flexible and rigid PCB manufactures.
About Laminates
Insulectro offers laminates from world-class manufacturers, Arlon and EMC Laminates and Prepregs, along with DuPont™ Pyralux® Flexible Copper Clad Laminates. Both Arlon and DuPont materials are qualified for high-reliability applications like spaceborne satellites, surgical/medical, oil, and gas down well applications, or under hood automotive environments. The product offerings also include materials for any consumer application. Arlon’s FR4 resin-based systems are inherently well suited for high fabricator yields, and DuPont’s FCCL’s are the industry standard.

PumaFast™ materials are readily in stock and available for immediate delivery. Standard Materials are popular laminates we distribute and most likely in stock.
Advanced converting equipment provides customers with the ability to have a wide variety of plastic and polymer material processed from large rolls of raw material into smaller rolls or tapes of varying length depending on customer specification allows the customer to obtain materials in optimum widths and lengths for the processing equipment.
DFM when performed correctly from the start will ensure that our products meet their intended goals with high-producibility which enables higher yields and lower costs for our production built products. When done properly high quality and long term reliability built-in also ensure continued market acceptance.
Insulectro offers free design reviews with some limitations to help ensure a correct by construction stackup, that supports robust DFM and signal integrity performance.

Rigid Laminates
Arlon’s 85N is a 250⁰C high glass transition pure polyimide resin system that provides superior thermal resistance to high-temperature end-use electronics. Coupled with the high-temperature stability and the pure resin formulation, 85N is the best choice for high-layer count multilayers with long service life for aerospace, military, space, and other applications where reliable thermal stability is required.
Meets requirements of IPC-4101/40 and IPC-4101/41.
Arlon’s 85HP is the best-in-class 250⁰C high glass transition temperature polyimide resin system available on the market today. This unique blend of polyimide resin and micro-fine proprietary fillers results in superior performance for the most demanding thermal and high-layer applications. Applications for 85HP include mission critical PWB’s for military, aerospace, space, down hole oil and gas drilling and many other high reliability applications.
Validated to three IPC-4101 slash sheets 40, 41, & 43.
Arlon’s 86HP is a revolutionary addition to Arlon’s best-in-class high performance polyimide laminate systems engineered to meet high temperature, electrical, and mechanical performance not found with any other polyimide resin system. 86HP applications include mission-critical PWB’s for military, aerospace, space, down hole oil and gas drilling, burn-in, and automatic test equipment.
86HP meets IPC-4101 slash sheets 40, 41, and 43.
Arlon’s 37N is a 200⁰C glass transition temperature polyimide low-flow resin system designed for bonding multilayer rigid flex, heat sink attachment to MLB’s or other applications where minimal and uniform resin flow is required. 37N can be cured as low as 350⁰F and has excellent thermal stability. Applications include military, aerospace, space, commercial, and industrial PWB electronics.
Meets requirements of IPC-4101/42.
Arlon’s 38N is the second-generation 200⁰C glass transition temperature polyimide low-flow resin system which is designed to improve adhesion and bond strength to Kapton® polyimide films, copper and other metals.
