Turbo-Coat Acrylic Conformal Coating: Product Information
Turbo-Coat Acrylic Conformal Coating: Product Information
Conformal coating cure time is often considered a production bottleneck for PCB
assembly operations. Turbo-Coat dries tack-free in 3 minutes, allowing manufactures to
handle boards in 1/3 the time of the leading acrylic coating! Full cure can be achieved as
quickly as 10 minutes with elevated temperatures.
Like all Techspray conformal coatings, Turbo-Coat can be either sprayed or brushed, or
boards can be dipped directly into the coating for a thicker layer of protection.
Features / Benefits

Applications
Electronic Assemblies for…
• Automotive
• Aviation
• Consumer Electronics
• Appliances
• Industrial Meters & Control
Thinning / Removal
Techspray coatings can be thinned to meet production requirements using Conformal
Coating Thinner (2105). Conformal Coating Remover (2510) is also available for rework
and repair, although coating is often just burnt through in the soldering process for spot
repairs.
Thinning / Removal
Techspray coatings contain Opti/Scan to allow quality control inspection of coverage and
evenness of the coating on a PCB. A coated board can be passed under a standard,
low-cost UV (black) light, and the coated areas glow. The brighter the glow, the thicker
the coating.
Chemical Components
Acrylic Polymer (non-hazardous)
n-Propyl acetate............................................. CAS #109-60-4
Acetone ......................................................... CAS #67-64-1
n-Heptane ...................................................... CAS #142-82-5
Cure time depends on a number of factors, including the method and thickness of
application. Dilution will also change the cure profile. 149°F / 65°C is recommended as
the best accelerated temperature to optimize leveling, providing the smoothest possible
finish. A faster cure may be achieved, but should be thoroughly tested first.
