Directions for Use
CPL can be sprayed, dipped or brushed. The thickness of the coating depends on the method of application
(typically 25 microns). Temperatures of less than 16°C or relative humidity in excess of 75% are unsuitable for
the application of CPL. As is the case for all solvent based conformal coatings, adequate extraction should be
used (refer to MSDS for further information).
Substrates should be thoroughly cleaned before coating. This is required to ensure that satisfactory adhesion to
the substrate is possible. Also, all flux residues must be removed as they may become corrosive if left on the
PCB. Electrolube manufacture a range of cleaning products using both hydrocarbon solvent and aqueous
technology. Electrolube cleaning products produce results within Military specification.
Spraying – Bulk
CPL is supplied with a viscosity of around 25mPa s at room temperature and therefore does not need to be
thinned for spray application. If bulk coating material has been agitated, allow to stand until air bubbles have
dispersed. CPL is suitable both for use in manual spray guns and selective coating equipment.
The selected nozzle should enable a suitable even spray to be applied in addition to suiting the prevailing
viscosity. The normal spray gun pressure required is 274 – 413 kPa (40 - 60 lbs/sq.inch). After spraying, the
boards should be placed in an air-circulating drying cabinet and left to dry.
