This message is resent,.somehow it got sent before I was done..(monday's!)

Dougal,
I sent a response Friday to the second-half of your post, but then
came across this message that I hadn't read yet. I would like to add a
little more to the post I made Friday to help make that information a
little more useful.
When you speak of CTI, I'm not exactly sure what is meant by that...I
don't believe it's coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) because the
values are expressed in parts-per-million...and I can't think of why
anyone would want a laminate that has a CTE of 400 ppm anyway, so I'm
assuming what it is that you're asking for is laminate that has a glass
transition temperature (Tg) of 400 degrees F. or above...that works out
to 204.44 degrees celsius (400-32 x 5/9=degrees C.)...I'll list below the
important properties of the materials I refered to in my last email:

Notes:
* All temperatures are in degrees C.)
* Tetra. is abbreviation for Tetrafunctional Epoxy
* BT is abbreviation for Bismaleimide Triazine, also known as Cyanate ester
* RSM-1206 is usually provided as a blend with epoxy.
