Multi-Cure 9-20557 solvent-free conformal coating contains no VOCs and cures in seconds upon exposure to UV/visible light. Is designed for rapid conformal coating of printed circuit boards and other electronics assemblies. Is specially formulated to remain on the edges of difficult-to-wet components and sharp leads. Has a secondary heat-cure feature that permits the coating to cure with heat in applications where shadowed areas exist. Is optimized for coating thicknesses between 0.002" and 0.020". Medium-viscosity material is compatible with most spray equipment. The low modulus permits it to excel in coating applications where thermal shock performance is critical.
