Developed with Thin Film Partners, Trinity Shields offers two low temperature Fluoropolymer coating formulations (differing by solvent carrier), which offer superior hydrophobic and oleophobic protection from harsh environmental conditions
- Hydrophobic and oleophobic
- Superior moisture and salt barrier properties
- Film thickness from 200 nanometers to 2+ microns
- Does not require masking in nearly all cases as extremely soft
- High resistance to chemicals/solvents
- Resists heat to 200C
- Survives Gamma, E-beam and EtOH sterilization
- Good adhesion
- Will not occlude fine gauge mesh openings
- Adaptable and customizable chemistry
- Re-workable, solderable
- Optically clear liquid formulation
- Varying fluorocarbon solids from 0.1% upwards
- Transparent, colorless film
- Low viscosity, low surface tension solution
- Well suited for: PCBs, electronics, metals, MEMS, sensors, plastics, steel mesh, membranes, fabrics
FluoroShield F400 and FluoroShield F800E are low cost alternatives to Parylene and liquid conformal coatings.
