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
Performance Properties Include:
- 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.
