The peelable solder masks of the series PSM 13.990 are designed to be applied in limited zones on printed circuit boards (PCB) in order to protect them from direct contact with solder. These ELPEGUARD auxiliary products, made by the company Peters, are distinguished by their simplicity of application and handling.
Ready-to-use, these peelable solder masks are always available at hand and can be applied in thin layers directly from the 250 ml squeeze bottle, even on assembled PCBs. When drying at room temperature or in the oven (e.g. for 5 minutes at 80°C) the mask turns from white to yellow; once the wave soldering process is completed it is simply peeled off.
Available in two different viscosity adjustments, these solder masks are free from solvents, silicones, oils and acids. The workplace and tools can simply be cleaned with water. For reflow solder processes, hot-air-levelling, multiple soldering or as cover material in electroplating or other metallisation processes, as well as for the printing of copper surfaces, screen-printable ELPEPCB peelable solder masks are an ideal choice.
