Subject: RE: [Homebrew_PCBs] UV: alternatives to glass?

From: Marc Sulfridge <marcsulf@...>

CYTOP has excellent transmission (>95% for a 200um coat) all the way out to 200nm wavelengths. I'd suggest using it as a coating over your glass to prevent stress concentration of PCB on the glass. Here's a link to the data sheet which includes the transmission curve as well as all the relevant optical, mechanical, and thermal properties:
