Electrolube has complemented its aromatic-free acrylic coating range with AFA-G. The new addition is deliberately more viscous than a standard coating, designed for use as a permanent masking or damming material, either preventing capillary action around components such as connectors, or as a mask between the ‘coat` and ‘no-coat` areas of the PCB.
This product is ideal for critical areas of the PCB where extra thickness of coating may be beneficial. The acrylic coating is ideally suited for covering sharp edges, which may otherwise be missed by less viscous material during the coating process. It has been carefully developed without the use of hazardous aromatic solvents, such as Xylene and Toluene, making it less harmful to the environment and the operator.
Features of the solvent include a wide operating temperature range, a UV trace to aid inspection, fast touch-dry time at room temperature, excellent adhesion to most substrates and protection against humidity and salt mist. The RoHS-2 compliant AFA-G is available in a 35 ml syringe with LuerLock adapter, and can be applied by hand as well as with automatic dispensing equipment.
