How does copperless PCB wear?
« on: February 16, 2013, 03:58:04 pm »
I was thinking about making a case out of copperless PCB but I've never thought about how PCB wears down in a high physical (touchy) environment. Any ideas?

Basically you are asking for the material properties of FR4, of which most PCBs are made. It's all here.

Since it contains Bromine, it wouldn't be a good idea for day-to-day use as a split keyboard casing? might still be good for a Raspberry Pi case though, right?

Yes, that's what makes it Flame Retardant. It's part of the resin molecule, it's not in elementary form. I guess it's something you don't have to worry about.
