Creative Materials 118-02

118-02 is a flexible, electrically insulating coating suitable for application by pad printing, spraying, dipping and syringe dispensing. This product features excellent adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, glass, and a variety of other surfaces. Unlike conventional insulating materials, this product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for 118-02 include, but are not limited to, ribbon cables, polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, and membrane switches.

Safety & Health

Safety & Handling
  • Use with adequate ventilation.
  • Keep away from sparks and open flames.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with skin and breathing of vapors.
  • Wash with soap and water to remove from skin.
  • Keep containers closed to avoid contamination.
  • If stored frozen allow containers to warm to room temperature, and thoroughly wipe off any condensation before opening.

Storage & Handling

Suggested Handling & Curing

Stir well before using. 118-02 is ready to use as supplied for spray and/or dip coating. Additional thinning may be accomplished by adding CMI #114-20(slow drying), or#113- 39(fast drying) thinner. Good properties for most applications result when cured of 5 minutes at 130°C. Good properties are also obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 175°C. NOTE: Add 1phr B-187 catalyst when using low temperature cures. The use of B-187 is suggested to impart a high degree of chemical resistance. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications
