Aquacoat is an environmentally friendly single-part coating with a unique polymer blend designed for the protection of PCBs and electronic assemblies.
With no organic solvents, it is highly compatible with plastics and requires no special procedures for the protection of either operators of their working environment.
Aquacoat's 180-200cps viscosity means that it can easily be applied by dipping, spraying or brushing.
Being water-based and therefore non-flammable, application can be made without the need for flame-proofed equipment, sophisticated extraction or special storage.
Aquacoat also offers excellent resistance to alcohols and aromatic solvents, and can withstand temperatures between -50 and +170C.
Curing can be achieved in just 40min at 70C after 10 to 40min in ambient conditions.
Cure time can be reduced still further using an infra-red oven, allowing extremely fast production throughput.
The coating is glossy and completely transparent when dry, and is easily soldered through for rework purposes without causing harmful fumes.
