Why Choose CytoPel Conformal Coatings?

These nano coatings are designed to provide exceptional water and oil repellency making them ideal for protecting printed circuit board assemblies, similar to Novec series conformal coatings, with no requirment for masking or curing.

Key Features & Benefits

Hydrophobic & Oleophobic: Repels both water and oils, achieving an oleophobicity grade of up to 8.

Acrylic-Based Polymer: Provides durable and flexible protection. PFAS-free options are available.

Low Viscosity & Surface Tension: Ensures even coating and penetration into small features.

Transparent Coating: Maintains visibility of underlying components.

Customizable Concentrations: Available in 0.2% to 10% polymer solutions in various non-flammable solvents.

Masking and curing optional: Similar to Novec 1702, masking or curing of coated devices is not need.

Major Applications

Electronics Protection: Ideal for printed circuit boards, ball-grid arrays, micro-motors, MEMS, and hard disk drive components.

Laboratory & Medical Devices: Used for coating plastic laboratory devices and microfluidic devices.

Membranes & Filtration: Maintains air permeability, Rayl values, and acoustic penetrance in fabrics, mesh, filters, and membranes.

Precision Components: Suitable for MR heads and other sensitive electronic parts.
