Electrolube HFAC acrylic conformal coating

Click2Contact

Electrolube, the specialist electrochemicals manufacturer, has introduced a halogen-free, acrylic conformal coating: HFAC.

The product has been developed as a suitable solution for manufacturers who require a coating that has been formulated without the use of aromatic solvents or chlorinated and brominated flame retardants that can created hazardous and highly corrosive species during a fire. For specific customer applications, HFAC will entirely eliminate the negative issues associated with halogenated materials and issues with aromatic solvents, presenting a good coating alternative.

The coating is flexible and transparent with improved flame retardancy, good clarity and UV resistance, making it suitable for use in LED applications. The UL94 V0 approved HFAC is a versatile coating which can be sprayed, dipped or brushed. With Electrolube’s ULS Ultrasolve, the coating can be easily removed for rework.

HFAC joins Electrolube’s aromatic-free conformal coatings range, which has been carefully developed without the use of hazardous aromatic solvents, such as xylene and toluene, making these particular coatings less harmful to the operator. In response to demand for a halogen-free coating product, HFAC was created as an alternative version of Electrolube’s AFA aromatic-free acrylic coating. Its properties are much the same as the AFA coating range, including freedom from aromatic solvents; a wide operating temperature range; a UV trace to aid inspection; and fast touch-dry time at room temperature.
