Scope
GB/T 29846-2025 is the English-translated version of 印制板用光成像耐电镀抗蚀剂.
GB/T 29846-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the dry film or liquid photoresist that masks a printed board while it is plated and etched — the viscosity and fineness before imaging, the minimum line width and spacing it can hold after exposure, the resistance to electroplating, electroless plating and etching, the sealing and filling behaviour that decides whether plating creeps under the mask, the development and stripping times, and the colour difference before and after exposure. The 2013 edition dealt with liquid resist; dry film photoresist now runs through the requirements, the type inspection and the factory inspection. Issued on 1 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 February 2026, replacing GB/T 29846-2013.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents". Drafting is required.
This document replaces GB/T 29846-2013 "Photoimageable electroplating resists for printed circuit boards". Compared with GB/T 29846-2013, In addition to structural adjustments and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
Photoimageable electroless plating resists were deleted from the scope and photoimageable electroless plating resists were added (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the 2013 edition); a) Increased resistance to electroplating resist, chemical plating resistance, dry film photoresist, liquid photoresist, high density interconnected printed circuit boards, The terms and definitions of package substrates (see 3.1, 3.5 to 3.9) have been deleted, including roller coating, screen printing without pattern, dip coating, exposure energy, exposure Terms and definitions for light levels and post-curing (see 3.1 to 3.3, 3.5 to 3.7 of the 2013 edition);
b) Changed the viscosity requirement of liquid electroplating resist before imaging and added the thickness requirement after pre-drying (see 4.1.1, 2013 edition) 4.1);
c) Added the performance, dimensional requirements (see 4.1.2) and inspection methods (see 5.2.1 and 5.2.4.1.1);
d) Changed the minimum line width and line spacing requirements for liquid electroplating resist after imaging (see 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1 of the 2013 edition); e) Added the minimum line width and line spacing requirements for dry film photoresist after imaging (see 4.2.1.2); f) Changed the requirements for electroplating resistance and chemical plating resistance (see 4.2.2, 2013 edition 4.2.2) and the test methods (see 5.6, 2013 edition Version 5.7);
g) The requirements for etching resistance (see 4.2.3, 4.2.3 of the 2013 edition) and the test method (see 5.7, 5.8 of the 2013 edition) have been changed; h) Added the requirements for color difference before and after exposure (see 4.2.4) and the test method (see 5.9); i) Added the requirements for the thickness of the dry film photoresist layer after exposure (see 4.2.5) and the inspection method (see 5.2.4.1.2); j) Added the requirements for the sealing properties of dry film photoresist (see 4.2.6) and the test method (see 5.8); k) Added the requirements for dry film photoresist filling ability (see 4.2.7) and test methods (see 5.12); l) Added requirements for developing time and stripping time (see 4.2.8, 4.2.9) and test methods (see 5.10, 5.11); m) The requirements for test graphic design and specimen preparation have been changed (see 5.1, 2013 edition); n) Adjust the identification test to type test, and add the type test of dry film photoresist (see 6.3, 6.3 of the 2013 edition); o) Adjust batch inspection to factory inspection, and add factory inspection for dry film photoresist (see 6.4, 6.4 of the 2013 edition); p) The requirement for periodic inspection has been deleted (see 6.4.3 of the 2013 edition); q) Changed the marking, packaging, transportation and storage requirements of liquid electroplating resist (see Chapter 7, Chapter 7 of the 2013 edition); r) Added requirements for marking, packaging, transportation and storage of dry film photoresists (see Chapter 7); s) Deleted the test and calculation of specimen manufacturing and related data (see Appendix A of the 2013 edition).
