product/component compatibility must be
determined on a non-critical area prior to use.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
For industrial use only.
Read MSDS carefully prior to use.
Before applying Konform
Flexcoat Conformal Coating,
clean circuit boards thoroughly to remove oil, grease,
dirt, flux and all other types of contamination. Allow to
dry. Cleaning may be performed with Chemtronics
Electro-Wash
or Eco-Rite™ degreasing products.
SPRAY APPLICATION: Apply top to bottom,
allowing coating to flow evenly around components.
Rotate PCB 90
° and repeat application. Rotate and apply
coating two additional times, then allow board to cure. If
additional thickness is desired, apply additional coatings.
When using liquid spray with automatic dispensing
equipment, adjustments may be required in application
rate and viscosity.
DIP APPLICATION: Using automatic equipment or
hand immersion technique, slowly immerse PCB into the
coating and remove slowly. Use an average rate of
approximately 1 foot per minute. After allowing the
board to cure, process may be repeated to achieve desired
thickness.
BRUSH APPLICATIONS: Evenly apply coating to
areas desired at thickness required. Allow time for curing
before reapplying to achieve a thick coating. Use
Chemask
to protect components during conformal
coating process.
CURING: Tack free time is 30 minutes at room
temperature. Accelerated curing can be obtained by
heating for 10 minutes @ 80
o
C in well ventilated
environments. Optimum cure cycles using radiant or
convection conveyer ovens are best determined
experimentally. Product may also be cured for 24 hours
@ 77
o
F (25
o
C). NOTE: Care must taken with
accelerated cures as the product solvents are
flammable.
REMOVAL: After application, cured Konform
Flexcoat Conformal Coating may be removed by peeling,
or soaking in Chemtronics Electro-Wash
Two Step.
