Features & Benefits

Features
  • FluorAcryl 3298 is a coating used in manufacturing hydrophobic and oleophobic metal, glass and plastic devices.  The coating is UV light curable, hydrophobic and solvent resistant. 3298 is applied by metered-rods, gravure, and similar techniques.  Cure thin films by irradiating with a medium pressure vapor mercury lamp (220-320 nm, if possible under inert nitrogen) to a pencil hardness of greater than #2 at 3 Joules per square centimeter. The resin may be thinned with acetone and butyl-acetate. Clean up with acetone. Store unused material at room temperature in tightly sealed container. After proper curing, masks have contact angles to water over 100° and have great chemical and solvent resistance.
