Dual-Cure 9481 conformal coating cures in seconds with UV/Visible light and protects circuitry on tin solder joints by thwarting whisker growth. It has a low viscosity, making it ideal for spray application through manual or automated dispensing systems. The cured coating forms a transparent layer that protects underlying circuitry and components from moisture, dust, and other contaminants. Additionally, 9481 meets common industry specs including MIL-I-46058C and IPC-CC-830B. DYMAX CORP., Torrington, CT. (877) 396-2988.
