Electrolube is to launch a new, high build conformal coating at Nepcon (stand G408) that is particularly effective at covering lead ends and sharp corners DCRT is a red, flexible, modified silicone resin that increases the lifetime of vital electronic equipment by protecting it from hazardous environments

Highly effective and easy to use, it is suitable for dip coating and brushing.

Formulated especially for the protection and camouflage of electronic assemblies in the defence and aerospace industries, DCRT offers excellent adhesion for even high altitude applications.

Self extinguishing and suitable for use between -70 and +200C, it is noncorrosive to cadmium and zinc plate and may be safely soldered through.

Red in colour, the resin also disguises component markings and the design of PCBs.

DCRT offers unparalleled electrical characteristics, with a dielectric strength of 90kV/mm and an electrical resistivity of 10e15ohm/cm.

Resistant to humidity and mould growth, it is available in 5-litre bulk form.

The resin cures quickly (within 24h) at ambient room temperature, and just 2h curing at ambient temperature followed by 2h at 100C provides additional resistance to most solvents such as IPA or xylene, if required.

Electrolube also supplies a thinner (DCT) that can be used to adjust DCRT's viscosity.
