Features & Benefits
- Labeling Claims
- Ready-to-Use Product Features
- Key Attributes
- Xylene and toluene free
- Fluoresces under UV-A light
- Suitable for use with selective coating equipment
- Clear, thin, flexible, and durable
- Protects against dust, humidity, salt spray, corrosion, and chemical fogs
- Protects against electrical arching, shorts, static discharges, and thermal shocks
- Contains a UV indicator for optical inspection
- Applied by brushing, dipping, manual and selective spraying
- Available in liquid, aerosol, and pen
- IPC and UL certified versions
- Clean-up
- Clean spray system and equipment with MEK or acetone, MG #434.
- Recommended Preparation
- Clean the substrate with Isopropyl Alcohol, MG #824, so the surface is free of oils, dust, and other residues.
- Recommended Thinner
- When thinning is required, use MG #4352 Thinner 2.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Method
- Applications
- Improves reliability, and lengthens the life of electronic circuitry
- Protects circuitry in coastal, tropical, marine, and other humid environments
- Allows electronic devices to operate in harsh environments
- Allows traces to be placed closer together by preventing arcing
- Brush
- 419D can be applied by brush for rework or touch-ups. Thinning is not required for most brush applications. Desired coating thickness can be achieved in a single application. Applied coating can be cured immediately.
- Manual Spray Guns
Use a standard fluid nozzle gun with a minimum tip diameter of 0.8–1.0 mm. The settings listed below are recommendations; however, performance will vary with different brands:
Inlet Air flow Air cap 20–40 psi 10–15 SCFM 8–10 psi - Dilute 1-part coating to 1-part thinner (MG #4352 Thinner 2). Adjust ratio if required.
- Stir the coating gently, but thoroughly.
- Spray a test pattern to ensure good flow quality.
- Tilt the board at 45° and spray a thin even coat from a distance of 20–25 cm (8–10 in). Use spray-andrelease strokes with an even motion to avoid paint buildup in one spot. Start and end each stroke off the surface.
- Wait 3 min between coats to avoid trapping solvent.
- Rotate the board 90° and spray again to ensure good coverage.
- Apply additional coats until desired thickness is achieved (go to step 3).
- Let dry for 10 min at room temperature before applying heat cure.
- Dip Coat
Use a Ford or Zahn cup to monitor the viscosity of the coating, as the solvent will evaporate over time.
- Hang the PCB on a dipping arm.
- Slowly lower the PCB into a tank and leave immersed in the coating for 2 min to allow penetration.
- Slowly withdraw the PCB from the tank at a rate of approximately 6" per minute.
- Let dry for 3 min before applying additional coats or 10 min before heat cure.
- Selective Coating
For higher volume applications, coating can be applied via selective coating equipment. The settings listed below are recommendations and performance will vary with different brands.
