Based on Norman Einarson's "Bare Board PWB Design Manual":
FR-4 is a flame resistant glass epoxy.
Tetrafunctional means that there are four sites per molecule after
polymerization, as opposed to two sites per molecule in regular
(difunctional) FR-4. The result is that tetrafunctional FR-4 is denser,
more acid resistant, more stain resistant and has a higher glass transition
temperature. I believe that this will also be more expensive.
Hope this helps.
