New Dymax 9-20558 thick film coating provides a transparent layer that protects underlying circuitry and components from moisture, dust and other contaminants. It cures in seconds on exposure to UV and visible light (see Plate 10).

The flexible encapsulant adheres to and forms a protective coating over a wide variety of surfaces including glass-filled epoxy, metal and ceramic – as well as Kapton, making it ideal for use on flexible circuits. It features a secondary heat-curing capability and flow characteristics designed for quick coverage without running. Cure time is 20-30 seconds, even under standard longwave, moderate-intensity light (200m W/cm2), and cure depths of 1/4 in. are possible.
