Coating avoids VOC use

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Oct 12, 2007

NVOC has been produced for application via select spray equipment and to replace solvent-based coatings with minimal changes to processing parameters.

Electrolube's NVOC coating has been designed to provide the performance of a solvent-based product without the use of VOCs.

Successfully trialled by PVA and Nordson, NVOC has been produced for application via select spray equipment and to replace solvent-based coatings with minimal changes to processing parameters.

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 but are all, unfortunately, VOC emitters.

Designed to eliminate the use of VOCs, NVOC 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.

The NVMC non-VOC machine cleaner eliminates the use of solvents when flushing through equipment, preventing any coating deposits left in the machine from curing.

Resin Stop is a new coating created using fluoropolymer technology and PCS is a new peelable coating mask designed to withstand coating and wave soldering processes.
