3M™ Novec™ 2788 Electronic Grade Coating

3M™ Novec™ 2788 Electronic Grade Coating is designed for particle suppression in hard disk drives and can significantly reduce the particles shed from substrates. It can be used to replace electroless nickel and e-coats, filling in rough features on substrates, and trapping particles that are difficult to remove by standard cleaning processes. It is a yellow-dyed, low viscosity, low surface tension solution of a 15 wt% fluorochemical polymer carried in a hydrofluoroether solvent. It dries to a permanent film that covalently bonds to glass and metal oxides. It needs to be thermally post-cured. It is UV detectable and adhesives or labels will adhere to its surface.
