Turbo-Coat Acrylic Conformal Coating
Product# 2108
Product Description
TurboCoat Acrylic Conformal Coating is designed to speed up board
production throughput without additional investment of expensive
UV systems or other capital equipment. Conformal coating cure time
is often considered a production bottleneck for PCB assembly
operations. TurboCoat dries tack free in 3 minutes, allowing
manufactures to handle boards in 1/3 the time of the leading acrylic
coating! Full cure can be achieved as quickly as 10 minutes with
elevated temperatures.
Features / Benefits
• Fastest Cure – Dry to Touch in 3 Minutes!
• Faster Throughput without Capital Investment
• Thick Coating – One-Pass Application
• Fast & Easy Rework & Repair
• IPC-CC-830 Tested
• UL94 V-0 Rated
• Crystal Clear & Glossy Finish
• UV Indicator for Black Light QC Inspection
• MEK, Toluene & Xylene Free
• Adjustable spray head (Aerosol)
Applications
Electronic Assemblies for...
• Automotive
• Aviation
• Consumer Electronics
• Appliances
• Industrial Meters & Control
Usage Instructions
For industrial use only. Read SDS carefully prior to use. Before applying
Turbo-Coat™ conformal coating, clean circuit boards to remove
contamination and allow to dry. Cleaning is recommended for optimal
adhesion, and may be performed with Techspray G3, E-LINE™ and
Precision-V defluxers.
Spray Application: Apply top to bottom, allowing coating to flow evenly
around components. Repeat application 3 additional times from varying
directions to prevent component shadowing. Then allow board to cure. If
additional thickness is desired, apply additional coatings. When using
liquid spray with automatic dispensing equipment, adjustments may be
required in application rate and viscosity.

Dip Application: Using automatic equipment or hand immersion
technique, slowly immerse PCB into the coating and remove slowly. Use
an average rate of approximately 1 foot per minute. After allowing the
board to cure, process may be repeated to achieve desired thickness.
Brush Application: Evenly apply coating to areas desired at thickness
required. Allow time for curing before reapplying to achieve a thick
coating. Use WonderMASK to protect components during conformal
coating process. After application, cured Fine-L-KoteTM may be removed
using Techspray Conformal Coating Removal Pen (2510-N or 2510-P).

Thinning/Removal
Techspray® coatings can be thinned to meet production requirements
using Conformal Coating Thinner (2105). Conformal Coating Remover
(2510) is also available for rework and repair, although coating is often
just burnt through in the soldering process for spot repairs.
Techspray® coatings contain Opti/Scan to allow quality control inspection
of coverage and evenness of the coating on a PCB. A coated board can be
passed under a standard, low-cost UV (black) light, and the coated areas
glow. The brighter the glow, the thicker the coating.

Cure time depends on a number of factors, including the method and
thickness of application. Dilution will also change the cure profile. 149°F /
65°C is recommended as the best accelerated temperature to optimize
leveling, providing the smoothest possible finish. A faster cure may be
achieved, but should be thoroughly tested first.
