Trying to identify PCB material

This is what I am talking about; on top is the usual, cheap, greenish one, bottom two are almost like shiny smoked glass...

Sorry not seen that for a while and doesn't it go all brittle after a decade or two?

Can't say for sure other than I have some of it in some 40+ year old stuff I have here and it doesn't seem to be terribly brittle.

The closest I've seen to it is a paper composite copper clad board, which drills and cuts extremely nicely.

Know where I can find more details on that?

Thanks!

eBay seller identified my "nice" pcbs as "non-UV blocking laminate". I think that mine was covered with photo resist.

same thing I noticed before that it has something to do with UV.

the greenish stuff glows brightly in UV light while the white stuff stays dark.



re. Paper Phenolic; it's available here in single sided boards. all single sided boards here use that. all double sided boards are in FR4. I couldn't get FR4 in single sided. 😕 if I need single sided FR4, I peel off the other side. such a waste.
