The company launched the new acrylic coating at the IPC Apex Expo, alongside a new fast-drying UV Cure coating, UVCL, which is also VOC-free. The 100% solids coating cures in seconds with conveyorised UV lamps, or within 2 hours at 80C°, due to an innovative ‘multi-cure’ mechanism that facilitates cure in shadowed areas. With a 12-month shelf life, the single-component, low-viscosity UVCL coating has been specifically formulated to give superior ‘sharp-edge’ coverage with common selective coating methods. Shadowed areas will cure in under 3 days at ambient temperatures and humidity, or can be accelerated by a 30-minute bake at 80C°. The highly flexible coating meets IPC-CC-830 requirements and is UL94 V-0 rated. Pending UL746E, UVCL is extremely resistant to common ‘thermal shock’ cycling, solvent and fluid exposure, moisture vapour, salt-spray and condensing environments.
Supplying the world’s leading manufacturers of electronic, industrial and domestic devices, the company is a trusted provider of high performance chemical solutions formulated with the utmost care to the environment and operator.
