UV-curable masking gel

1 January 2018 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

UV92 from HumiSeal is a one part, thixotropic, UV-curable masking gel for temporary protection of components during the coating process. It is user-friendly during application, curing and removal processes, and comes in various cartridge sizes and bulk packaging.

Application of HumiSeal UV92 is simple due to its high shear thinning property, which allows the gel to reduce viscosity during dispensing. Ease of dispensing and accuracy of placement by properly wetting the surface makes it ideal for protection of critical components. The material will return to its gel state when not sheared.

The UV92 masking gel cures with industry standard UV LED lighting at 365 nm or 405 nm, and has excellent solvent resistance once cured. In its cured state, it will have a cloudy white appearance for easy identification without the need of a black light, and is easily distinguishable from conformal coating. The UV92 can withstand short temperature excursions up to 150°C for various conformal coating cure methods.
