Best Practices for Elantas (Altana) Conathane CE-1164
-
Application
CONATHANE® CE-1164 is a high-performance conformal coating specifically designed as an electrical insulating coating for printed circuitry and components. The ultimate performance of the cured film is dependent on process controls used in application of the coating. Cleanliness of the substrate is a major factor in promoting adhesion and preventing under-film corrosion. Assemblies must be clean, oil-free, and dry. For specific recommendations, please request Technical Bulletin C-115.
CE-1164 may be applied by spraying, dipping, or brushing. If viscosity reduction is desired, dilutions of 10-20% by weight with CONAP® S-8 solvent are recommended for most applications. It should be noted that CE-1164 reacts with moisture in the air, and dip tanks should be covered and blanketed with dry air or nitrogen when not in use to prevent waste of material in the tank.
Two coats are recommended for optimum protection. A total cured film thickness of 2 ± 1 mil is recommended. CE-1164 may be re-coated, if desired, after the previous film is tack-free.
