Harmonization Code : 8001.20 | Unwrought tin: Tin alloys

DOWSIL CC-2588

Main features

  • Five-Minute Tack-Free Processing
  • 22.3 kV/mm Dielectric Strength
  • Firm Abrasion-Resistant Cure

Product Description

DOWSIL CC-2588 Conformal Coating applies as a one-part, transparent, medium-viscosity silicone resin coating for rigid and flexible circuit boards. The colorless-to-pale-yellow liquid has a typical Brookfield viscosity of 930 cP, 88% nonvolatile content and a five-minute tack-free time at 25 deg C and 50% relative humidity. After cure, it forms a firm, abrasion-resistant surface with Shore A 75 hardness, 22.3 kV/mm dielectric strength and 5.04 MPa tensile strength. Spray, brush, flow, dip and automated pattern coating are supported, with solvent flash-off and cure conditions controlled for the applied film thickness.

Key features

  • Five-minute tack-free time: Supports rapid room-temperature handling at 25 deg C and 50% relative humidity.
  • High-solids application: Typical nonvolatile content is 88%.
  • Firm dielectric coating: Cured hardness is Shore A 75 with 22.3 kV/mm dielectric strength.

Applications

Protective conformal coating of rigid and flexible circuit boards and printed wiring boards.
