Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, a major component of smog. This pollution can have detrimental effects on the environment, damaging forests, vegetation and building materials. If not managed properly, VOCs can also cause serious health problems in humans; over-exposure causes them to act as irritants and, in worst cases, carcinogens.
To help reduce VOC emissions from processes in electronics manufacturing, Electrolube has developed NVOC, a solvent- and VOC-free conformal coating, to provide the performance and user-friendliness of a solvent-based coating but without VOCs.
The new coating has been tested by well known select spray equipment manufacturers with positive results. Tests showed that NVOC could be applied via conventional methods with little change to the set up parameters. Amongst the various types of coatings used for comparable testing of NVOC were two of the highest spec conformal coatings in the industry, DCA and HPA, which between them carry military, defence standard and UL approvals.
Electrolube’s products are specified and widely used for the manufacture and maintenance of electrical and electronic components and assemblies in a wide range of market segments from automotive, military, industrial and consumer electronics to aerospace, marine, telecoms and medical.
