- Features
• Designed for moisture and corrosion protection of printed circuit boards and electronic components
• Is UV (ultra violet) light detectable for easy identification of coating and quality control
• Low surface energy allows lubricating oils, silicones, photoresist solutions, etc. to bead and drain freely from coated surfaces
• Helps provide repellency and antiwetting properties against liquids – water, hydrocarbons, silicones and photoresists
• Helps protect against corrosive gasses and vapors in addition to liquids
• The polymer can endure up to 175°C for 24 hours and maintain repellency
• Essentially insoluble in solvents such as heptanes, toluene and water
• Adheres to a variety of materials (metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, composites, laminates)
• Thermally and electrically stable with good dielectric properties
• Easy to apply – dries quickly without the need for post-application curing
• Excellent surface wetting, especially under low standoff SMT components
• Allows solder-through repairability
• Non-flammable, non-ozone-depleting, and low in toxicity
• Low in global warming potential (GWP), RoHS compliant and and contains less than 5% volatile organic components (VOCs)*

- Applications
Helps provide:
• Moisture, chemical and corrosion protection for printed circuit boards and their components
• An easy and cost-effective alternative to conformal coatings
• Anti-wetting, anti-stiction, anti-migration and anti-corrosion properties in many diverse applications
Can serve as:
• Anti-migration coating for displays, spindle motors or lubricated electronic parts
• Anti-corrosion coating for a variety of materials and components
Application techniques
Coating can be applied by spray, dip, brush or selectively deposited as per the safety and handling requirements. Water should be kept out of coating bath as contact will interfere with coating deposition. Surfaces to be coated should be clean and dry before application. Masking may not be required for larger connector types, but testing is always suggested. The solvent will evaporate quickly, and the fluorinated polymer film will dry in minutes.Application Options Spray, dip, brush and selective dispenseDilution Can be diluted with 3M™ Novec™ 7200 Engineered FluidDrying/Curing Dries at room temperature; can be handled in under two minutesRemovability 3M™ Novec™ 72DA Engineered Fluid (preferred) or removable with Novec 7200 Engineered Fluid

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
Two years from date of manufacture in original unopened package
- Storage and Shelf Life
To avoid thermal decomposition, the coating solution should not be heated above 150°C (302°F), and the dried fluorinated polymer should not be heated to temperatures above 225°C (437°F), which, in general, is lower than the onset of thermal degradation under TGA test conditions. When stored under conditions of 16- 27°C (60-80°F) and less than 60% R.H. in the original, unopened container, the shelf life is certified for two years from the date of manufacture. Before using this product, please read the current product Safety Data Sheet (available through your 3M sales or technical service representative or at www.3M.com/Novec) and the precautionary statement on the product package. Follow all applicable precautions and directions. Always practice smart and safe industrial hygiene practices. Do not spray apply without proper ventilation and/or personal protective equipment (PPE).
