STABLCOR Provides PCB Manufacturers Replacement for Discontinued Thermount
Additional Benefits Include Thermal Conductivity, Rigidity, and Significant Reduction of Moisture Absorption

COSTA MESA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 31, 2007 -- STABLCOR Incorporated, a provider of
laminate-based thermal management technology for printed circuit boards and
substrates, announced today that its STABLCOR® product is an exceptional
replacement material for manufacturers and fabricators of printed circuit
boards (PCBs) currently using Thermount to control the thermal expansion of
the Printed Circuit Board to match closer with ceramic and flip chip
packages.
According to STABLCOR Chief Technology Officer, Kris Vasoya, the company's
STABLCOR technology provides an excellent replacement of the discontinued
Thermount material. "A multi layer board manufactured with Thermount
materials can be duplicated using multiple layers of standard FR4 and two
to three layers of STABLCOR embedded into the PCB to achieve the
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) replicating an existing design,"
said Vasoya. "An additional benefit of using STABLCOR is the ability to
tailor the CTE in a range from 2.5ppm to 12ppm. Achieving this significant
advantage is dependent on the placement and amount of material used in the
FR4/Polyimide stack-up."
To view comparison test results with boards using Thermount and those
manufactured with STABLCOR, visit the company's website at

In addition to the improved CTE achievable through the use of STABLCOR
technology, the PCB manufacturer and fabricator will experience the
following benefits: less than 50 percent Z-axis expansion, when compared
to boards using Thermount materials; no moisture absorption issues; the PCB
will act as a heat spreader, which substantially increases thermal
conductivity; increased rigidity without increasing the weight of the
board; and decreased temperatures in lead-free assembly. To listen to the

About STABLCOR Inc.
STABLCOR® is the only provider of a thermally and electrically conductive
carbon composite material which, when incorporated in printed circuit
boards and substrates, controls heat, thermal expansion and increases the
rigidity and strength of circuit boards without increasing the weight. The
patented laminate and the processes to incorporate STABLCOR into circuit
boards and substrates provide the electronics industry a cost efficient
technology to produce smaller electronic products while eliminating the
thermal, mechanical and reliability concerns that currently challenge the
semiconductor industry. For more information about STABLCOR visit the
