PROMOSOLV COAT UT10 is currently available at 2% and 4% solid content. A higher solid content will increase the coating thickness.

PROMOSOLV COAT UT10 can be considered as a replacement for 3M Novec 1700, which is scheduled to be phased out voluntarily by end 2025. More info on the announcement of 3M on the phase out of Novec products,  click this link.

PERFORMANCE

  • Provides exceptional repellence of all kinds of liquids.
  • Fast drying at room temperature ( <1 min)

COST

  • Substantial cost reduction due to small amount of product needed and simplicity of process.
  • PCB masking is not required, saving on preparation time.

HSE

  • No CMR substances
  • Low environmental impact & very low VOC
  • Non flammable

PROCESS EXAMPLES

The best process will depend on factors such as operating conditions, equipment, time and the cleanliness of the parts. Our team is ready to advise you.

Dip coating

  • Dipping process recommended / spray application possible (especially for selective deposition)
  • Typical coating thickness is about 0.2 microns
  • Recommended to apply on cleaned and dried surfaces
  • Touch dry within less than a minute / No thermal or UV cure required
