Versatile, Peelable Masking Resin Simplifies Masking Processes

Easy application and removal facilitates increased throughput

Torrington, Connecticut – February 7, 2012... Dymax Corporation’s SpeedMask^® 726-SC is a UV/Visible light-curable masking resin formulated to provide excellent surface protection of metal components during plating, decorative etching and anodizing, air plasma spray, blasting, and powder-coating processes. Formulated with See-Cure technology, 726-SC starts out bright blue in an uncured state, making it easy to see and enabling simple confirmation of quantity and location of placement. As the material begins to cure, its blue color begins to fade and ultimately transitions to pink after full cure. See-Cure adhesives are formulated to ensure that this color change occurs only after the adhesive has reached full cure, providing visual confirmation that the adhesive has received a sufficient dose of energy to reach full cure.

SpeedMask^® 726-SC can be applied by spraying, dipping, or coating and is easily integrated into automated systems. Its ability to cure quickly and be easily removed helps speed processing and increase throughput. 726-SC is recommended for surfaces such as nickel alloys, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, cobalt, and glass.

Easily dispensed for accurate placement

Torrington, Connecticut – February 7, 2012.... Dymax Corporation’s Ultra Light-Weld^® 9-20479-B is a blue, peelable masking material that cures in seconds when exposed to UV/Visible light. This material is designed for rapid masking of electronic components and assemblies, provides protection from reflow or wave soldering operations, and shields keep-out areas during conformal coating applications.

Ultra Light-Weld^® 9-20479-B is extremely thixotropic and is ideal for manual or automated dispensing on boards or components that may be difficult to mask with other methods. It’s solvent and silicone free, and does not contain VOCs. Cured masks withstand wave solder and reflow temperatures and are easily removed, eliminating the concern of ionic contamination or silicone left behind by other masking methods.

Light/Moisture-Cure Conformal Coating Lowers Annual Operating Costs

Rapid curing maximizes material usage and results in increased throughput and production capacity

Torrington, Connecticut – February 7, 2012….Dymax Corporation has introduced DYMAX 9481-E, a UV/moisture-cure conformal coating engineered for superior circuit protection in coating applications that require ambient shadowed-area cure. Solvent-free 9481-E offers OEMs and EMS providers key benefits versus solvent-based and heat-cured coatings including faster throughput, increased production capacity and floor space, maximum material usage, and lower annual operating costs.

DYMAX 9481-E offers rapid secondary moisture cure that guarantees cure on all areas of the board, including those shadowed from light, without the need for heat or additional processing. Its low viscosity enables easy application of desired coating thicknesses, while its high fluorescing provides easy inspection of thin layers and component edges. The product is tack free immediately after cooling; preventing fingerprints and other defects from being left on the board as a result of premature handling.

The time required to process 9481-E is significantly shorter than solvent-based or heat-cured coatings, allowing for more boards to be processed on the same production line. The product offers excellent chemical resistance and its low surface tension allows for excellent wetting of a wide range of solder masks, components, and assembly materials. 9481-E meets key industry specifications including MIL-I-46058C, UL 746-E, UL 94 V-0 flammability, and IPC-CC-830-B.

In-line curing allows for increased production speed, lower processing costs, and reduced inventories

Torrington, Connecticut – February 7, 2012... Dymax Corporation offers GA-112, a UV/Visible light-curable, form-in-place/cure-in-place (FIP/CIP) gasket that is formulated for applications requiring compression set, a tack-free surface, and durable sealing. This gasketing resin can be dispensed into intricate and complex configurations with the added benefit of in-line curing in seconds, allowing for increased production speed, greater output, lower processing costs, and reduced inventories. GA-112 eliminates the racking, stacking, waiting, and un-racking that’s required with traditional FIP gaskets.

GA-112 is silicone free and offers excellent tear resistance and moisture-resistant sealing. Applications include appliance housings, critical electronic assemblies and devices, and electrical conduit boxes. Permanent FIP/CIP gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins and the design and inventory expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. Dymax gaskets can easily accommodate component design changes and part variation without additional development costs.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES

SpeedMask temporary masking resins offer reliable surface protection not available from traditional masking materials such as tapes, lacquers, and waxes. They are used in surface preparation and finishing operations where a barrier is needed to protect surfaces and cavities. SpeedMask resins are quickly applied and easily removed. They are used in the aerospace, power generation, and metal finishing industries, and in the manufacture of orthopaedic implants and medical devices.

Dymax adhesives with patented See-Cure technology have built-in cure validation that makes it easy for operators, or simple automated inspection equipment, to confirm cure without investing in additional specialized equipment. See-Cure technology intentionally transitions the color of the adhesive after it has cured and builds a visible safety factor into the assembly process.

Dymax Ultra-Red™ fluorescing technology enhances bond-line inspection processes. Ultra-Red™ adhesives remain clear until exposed to low-intensity UV light at which point they fluoresce bright red, contrasting well on plastics that naturally fluoresce blue.

Dymax offers LED light-curable adhesives for use with Dymax LED UV/Visible light-curing systems. The adhesives range from fast to ultra-fast cure speeds to accommodate specific medical device, electronic, and industrial assembly needs.

The BlueWave^® 200 and BlueWave^® 75 high-intensity light-curing spot lamps feature an intensity adjustment that provides user control of light intensity to assist in process validation and control. The lamps primarily emit UVA and blue visible light (300-450nm) and are designed for light curing of adhesives, coatings, and encapsulants.

The BlueWave^® LED Prime UVA and BlueWave^® LED DX-1000 LED curing systems offer many advantages over conventional spot-curing systems including no bulbs to change, cool cures, no warm-up, and constant intensity for thousands of hours. The lamps generate curing energy using high-intensity LEDs for curing coatings and adhesive bonding of glass, metal, and plastic substrates.
