Electrolube will launch the Non VOC conformal coating, NVOC, and Non VOC machine cleaner, NVMC, at Productronica. The NVOC coating has been designed to meet the high performance of a solvent-based product without the use of VOCs. Successfully trialed by PVA and Nordson, it has been specifically produced for application via select spray equipment and to replace solvent-based coatings with minimal changes to processing parameters. The drive to reduce VOC emissions is paramount in today’s society and with EU regulations tightening companies are becoming increasingly more aware of the effects and costs associated with high VOC containing products. Solvent-based conformal coatings have been the industry norm for many years now but are all, unfortunately, VOC emitters.
Designed to eliminate the use of VOCs, the non VOC conformal coating is a polyurethane based coating which reacts with atmospheric moisture to produce a tough, flexible coating. NVOC has similar processing parameters and drying times to solvent based coatings allowing for an easier change to VOC free PCB protection. NVMC, Non VOC machine cleaner, has been designed alongside NVOC to eliminate the use of solvents when flushing through equipment, preventing any coating deposits left in the machine from curing. The company will also introduce Resin Stop, a coating created using fluoropolymer technology and PCS, a peel able coating mask designed to withstand coating and wave soldering processes. The firm will also demonstrate Aquacoat Plus, a water-based conformal coating .
