Ventec High Performance IMS Dielectric Material VT-4B5H Receives UL-Authorization
April 29, 2020 | Ventec International Group Co., Ltd.Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., is pleased to announce that UL’s evaluation of Ventec’s high-performance ceramic-filled, non-reinforced IMS dielectric material has received authorization to apply the UL mark and has thus been recognized for achieving 155°C maximum operating temperature (MOT) for electric and mechanical RTI (Relative Temperature Index).
UL's investigation of Ventec's VT-4B5H metal base laminate has been completed and was determined to comply with the applicable requirements including 155oC MOT (maximum operating temperature) for electric and mechanical RTI (Relative Temperature Index). With thermal conductivity of 4.2 W/m*K and glass transition temperature (Tg) of 180°C, the versatile IMS material is the perfect choice for use in extreme high temperature applications. These include DC/DC power modules, IGBT applications, motor controllers, high lumen output LED devices, battery charging, OBC chargers for EV vehicles and several other automotive “underhood” applications. VT-4B5H is also highly recommended for chip on board (COB) or direct die in both power and LED applications.
VT-4B5H is available in a wide range of dielectric-, copper foil- and base plate thicknesses and types as well as in numerous panel size options. This versatility is ideal for both single layer and multiple layer IMS designs.
Chris Hanson, Global Head IMS Technology, commented: "Achieving UL authorization for VT-4B5H’s industry-leading 155°C MOT performance is fantastic news. As a complement to our full VT-4B series of superior thermal dissipation materials, our customers have access to an IMS material that meets virtually any high thermal performance requirements."
Ventec International is a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
