NVOC moisture cure conformal coating now comes in high viscosity, gel and aerosol versions. High viscosity is for thicker coating or manual application (brush, dip and selective spray). Gel is a single part, thixotropic material designed for glob-top applications where the coating should not flow once applied. Cures at room or elevated temperatures upon exposure to atmospheric moisture and incorporates a UV trace to aid inspection. Aerosol uses standard NVOC coating for manual application. Are based on polyurethane technology and are VOC-free.
