• TI-2037

TECHNICAL DATA / PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD FILM

• Designed for making contact phototools from 

photoplotter output or other line work.

• Negative working, slow speed, ultraviolet sensitivity

• Expose with high intensity metal halide or pulsed-xenon 

source

• Use in white fluorescent illumination covered with 

ultraviolet-absorbing material or in yellow fluorescent 
illumination

• Very dimensionally stable ESTAR Thick Base with 

antistatic properties under a wide range of  humidity 
conditions, both before and after processing.

• Excellent scratch and abrasion resistant overcoat.

• Produces high image density at line-for-line exposures 

with minimum pinholes.

• Sufficient matte level on both sides to minimize 

Newton's rings and to provide rapid drawdown in 
vacuum printing frames.

• Can also be processed in a wide selection of machine 

developers including lith and rapid-access, along with 
KODAK ULTRALINE Developer and Replenisher.

Dimensionally stable support.

7-mil (0.18 mm)

ESTAR Thick Base

This film can be safely  handled for up to a total of 
60 minutes, before or after exposure, in up to 40 footcandles 
(430 lux) of roomlight illumination substantially free of     
ultraviolet (UV) energy.  Such illumination is supplied by 
yellow fluorescent lamps (warm white preferred) and white 
fluorescent lamps covered by UV-absorbing or modified by 
UV-absorbing plastic diffusers.  Other roomlight sources 
contain varying amounts of UV energy, and their roomlight 
tolerances for this film should be tested under the specific 
conditions of use.

Keep unexposed film and processed film in a cool, dry place.  
Process film as soon as possible after exposure.

Expose with a multi-level high-intensity metal-halide 
exposure source.  Optimum exposure should be determined 
by means of a trial exposure series, following the equipment       
manufacturer's recommended procedures.  Use a trial 
exposure time of 5 to 20 seconds at an exposure distance of 
127 to 152 cm (36 to 60 inches). Contact your Kodak 
representative for more information.

Note: Exposures for optimum line width reproduction are 
critical when using a broad light source, and when making 
base-to-emulsion exposures.  Any light falloff from the 
center to the edge of the exposing source may affect overall 
reproduction quality and introduce problems with accurate             
line-width reproductions.

Precautionary: Contact the manufacturer of high intensity 
ultraviolet lamps for safety information pertaining to 
ultraviolet radiation and ventilation requirements due to 
ozone generation.
