Chemtronics Chemask® HV - High Viscosity Peelable CHV8 User Manual
Technical data sheet, Chemask, Hv solder masking agent

 
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
Chemask
HV Solder Masking Agent is a
temporary, high viscosity, fast curing, 
peelable solder masking agent. It is a high 
temperature resistant compound that protects 
component-free areas during wave soldering. 
Chemask
HV can be introduced to the wave
solder preheat within 4 minutes without 
adverse effects. Chemask
HV may be used
to protect pins, posts, contacts and edge 
connections during conformal coating 
processes. 
 
 Stable to 515
°F (268°C)
 Compatible with rosin, no clean, water
soluble fluxes and cleaning solvents
 Leaves no residue 
 Ready for wave solder in 4 minutes 
 Dries tack free in 15 minutes 
 Non-contaminating

COMPATIBILITY 
Chemask
HV Solder Masking Agent is
generally compatible with most materials 
used in printed circuit board fabrication. As 
with any solder masking agent, compatibility 
with substrate must be determined on a non-
critical area prior to use. Test compatibility 
on bare copper.
