Fine-L-Kote SR Conformal Coating, 12 oz. Cans

FAQs

What does 2-step curing mean?

That just means you break the accelerated curing process into 2 stages. You basically ramp up the heat so the coating has an opportunity to level. Otherwise, you can get a wrinkling or orange peel texture. That texture doesn’t affect performance, just aesthetics. This is not an issue when curing in ambient conditions.

What is the difference between a full cure and a tack-free cure?

A full cure is when it meets all the final specifications. There might be some out-gassing, but it will be as hard as it is going to be, and adhesion is as good as it gets. Tack-free is as the name suggests, not sticky so you can move it along the assembly process.

What is the difference between dielectric strength and dielectric withstand voltage?

The dielectric strength is the material's intrinsic property and withstanding voltage is a surface property that depends on the thickness of the material. They can be slightly different for thicker materials, but for conformal coating, the two numbers should be very close or the same. That is because we test coating at 3-5 mils thickness, calculate, then report the value per mil.
