New from Intertronics is the DYMAX Dual-Cure 9482, a UV light- and moisture-cure conformal coating specially formulated to flow underneath components on printed circuit boards and cure in these shadowed areas by using ambient moisture. This can result in faster throughput for through hole assemblies. DYMAX 9482 coating demonstrates excellent re-workability which is of particular importance to manufacturers of expensive PCBs or manufacturers looking to increase board yields. Typical applications include electronic assemblies for the general and consumer electronics, automotive, appliance, and military equipment manufacturing industries.
The 9482 coating features a vivid blue fluorescence when exposed to UV light which provides obvious detection of coating presence before and after cure. It was also developed to be tack free immediately after curing, helping to avoid defects such as fingerprints.
DYMAX 9482 is engineered for superior circuit protection in applications requiring coating thicknesses up to 0.25mm, states the company.
