Abstract From the Canadian patent

Dry-film, positive-acting photoresist layers are used in the formation of many articles such as circuit boards, printing plates and the like. Laminable monolayers of photoresist suffer from slow speeds brittleness, and, narrow latitude during development and exposure. The use of a laminable positive-acting photoresist integral adhesive layer on the dry-film, positive-acting photoresist layer improves the properties and performance of the photoresist.
