I apologize if I have this wrong: Matsushita Communication Industrial Co the parent company of Panasonic, is still that; however Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is no longer; this was the division that produced the laminates. They still do; but with the closing of the factory in North America and the gobbling up of the division by the parent, it has become much harder to get information. Focus on the central statement: it is hard to get information on Japanese and Chinese laminates.

Isola just completed the acquisition a month ago. If you look at their site they have completed all the transfers with UL and that file is up .. and they have imported all the slash sheet values, basically just porting over the Polyclad sheets and changing the name and graphics in the header. http://www.isola-group.com/en/products/name/detail.shtml?47 http://www.isola-group.com/en/products/CompatibleLaminate.pdf I am much more frustrated with trying to get information on the Japanese or Chinese laminates; check Panasonic who bought Matsushita .... and try to find property values. We have a supplier who wants us to use a laminate that I can't find on the internet at all! now that bothers me Valerie Werner Engelmaier <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: TechNet <[log in to unmask]> 05/18/2006 08:02 PM Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum <[log in to unmask]>; Please respond to [log in to unmask] To [log in to unmask] cc Subject Re: [TN] Rohs Weeeeeee board material Hi Eddie, Yes, indeed Isola continues to offer the 370HR and other Polyclad materials, but it is now more difficult to get the propertiies if yoou look at the Isola website. Fortunately, last time I looked, the Polyclad website was still operating.
