Dow, leading supplier of silicone-based materials, has introduced the DOWSIL CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings. Available in three different formulations, these silicone coatings span from low-to-high viscosities and provide strong protection for electronic components.
Features and Benefits of Dow CC-8000 Series:
The DOWSIL CC-8000 series cures on demand with broad spectrum UV or LED light and also offers a secondary moisture cure for shadowed areas. These fast-curing properties allow for a high production throughput as well as reduced energy costs when compared to heat-curing materials and quicker processing times compared to room-temperature curing materials.
Manufactured without added solvents, the one-part, translucent conformal coatings offer excellent contamination and environmental protection, even in humid conditions. They also provide stress relief and superior flame retardancy. With flexible working times to accommodate different production processes, these versatile coatings ensure strong adhesion to a wide range of substrates.
Product Information:
The CV-800 series includes three different conformal coatings, each offering varying viscosities and application methods. This allows manufacturers to select the option best suited to their manufacturing requirements.
Product |
Viscosity |
Application |
DOWSIL CC-8030 Conformal Coating |
Low |
Suitable for high-speed production methods such as manual or automated spraying, flow or jetting techniques. This faster flowing material can also be utilised when coatings need to flow through vias or under chips. |
DOWSIL CC-8033 Conformal Coating |
Medium |
Can support high-speed production methods, as well as needle dispensing for damming or keep out regions. |
DOWSIL CC-8036 Conformal Coating |
High |
Suitable for needle dispensing and applications that require increased control over the speed and distance of flow. This high viscosity material also enables thicker coating layers in one pass. |
Recommended Applications:
DOWSIL CC-8000 series conformal coatings are suitable for various applications in the electronics and automotive industries. This includes:
- Automotive boards & assemblies
- Control units
- E-motors
- Power supplies and modules
- Home applicances
- Renewable energy applications
- Rigid circuit boards
