APPLICATION METHODS:
Can be sprayed, dipped, or brushed. The final thickness of the coating is dependent upon the application method. To ensure satisfactory adhesion, the material to be coated should be completely clean, dry and dust free prior to coating. It is recommended that flux residues are removed as some may be corrosive if left on the PCB. Contact your solder supplier to determine compatibility. Check compatibility of the plastics that will be in contact with this coating prior to use. Ensure switches, contacts, etc, are masked prior to application of conformal coating.
Aerosol: Shake the can prior to use. To ensure an even coating, hold the aerosol can 200 mm away from the surface at an angle of 45°, then depress the trigger just before the aerosol is moved over the substrate using a smooth motion. Stop spraying just after moving off the substrate. Use short overlapping strokes and rotate the substrate by 90°. Re-spray to ensure complete coverage. After spraying, place in a dust free, air circulating drying cabinet until dry.
Dip: Using a suitable container, immerse the substrate completely for a few seconds, and then withdraw slowly to ensure a complete and even coating. Allow to drain, and then place in a dust free air circulating drying cabinet until dry.
Brush: Using a clean dry brush apply the conformal coating with smooth even strokes. Vigorous brushing should be avoided as it will lead to air bubbles. When completed, place in a dust free air circulating drying cabinet until dry.
May be thinned to suit particular applications by the addition of part number CT-CCT.
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry place in sealed containers at a room temperature between 8°C to 28°C. Please do not return any unused material to its original container.
