ElectriCorr® VpCI® -286 Acrylic Conformal Coating

Product Description

ElectriCorr VpCI-286 Conformal coating was designed to extend long-life performance of new and repaired electronic assemblies, especially those which are under adverse corrosion conditions such as high heat and atmospheric humidity. This nonconductive coating is a technological breakthrough in a new generation of circuit board conformal coatings; combining outstanding moisture intrusion prevention as well as superior corrosion resistance with Cortec’s patented Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor technology.

Cortec’s conformal coating protects printed circuit assemblies against contamination by providing a sealed microenvironment around the circuit board and its components.

The VpCI coating forms a barrier against microscopic dendrite growth, termination and surface corrosion, moisture, fungus, dust, and other environmental contaminants. ElectriCorr VpCI286 also enhances circuit reliability by prohibiting dangerous conditions such as leakage from high impedance circuits with high component density topography.

ElectriCorr VpCI-286 is a single component formulation that is easier to use than two component coatings eliminating special metering and mixing equipment. Also, ElectriCorr VpCI-286 contains an optical identifier visible with UV light, assuring rapid and effective visual confirmation of proper coating on surfaces.

Features

• Conforms to the surface being coated  
• Very low conductivity 
• Continuous corrosion inhibition  
• Fast drying  
• VOC free*  
• Easily removed with solvents for repair  
• Fluoresces under UV light  
• Available in aerosols and bulk liquid

Solvent used in the bulk liquid is scheduled to be added to a list of compounds excluded from the definition of VOC (in the second quarter of 2002), due to negligible contribution to ozone formation.

Typical Applications

• Field repair of printed circuit boards  
• Manufacture of printed circuit boards

Application

Aerosol use:
Spray a very light mist over the area needing protection.

Bulk liquid:
Dip coat or apply with a spray gun. 

Typical Properties
