3M™ Novec™ Electronic Grade Coatings

This coating is easy to apply and dries to a thin transparent film. The low surface energy film repels liquids such as lubricating oils, silicones and photoresist solutions used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. This coating requires no masking in most applications, and it air-dries in seconds.

This coating can be used in the disk drive, MEMS and TFT-LCD industries to provide anti-wetting, anti-stiction, anti-migration and anti-corrosion properties.

3M™ Novec™ 1720 Electronic Grade Coating is designed for easy clean and anti-smudge capabilities on a variety of surfaces such as glass flat panel displays and mobile electronic device components. It is a clear, low viscosity, low surface tension solution of a 0.1 wt% fluorosilane polymer carried in a hydrofluoroether solvent. The coating dries to a thin, transparent, permanent film with excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. It covalently bonds to glass and metal oxide layers and protects steel, aluminum, composites and a variety of other surfaces. The coating can air-dry in seconds and needs to be thermally post-cured for optimal performance.

A fluorochemical polymer coating carried in a nonflammable solvent, Novec coating EGC-2702 cures to a thin transparent film with excellent anti-wetting, anti-stiction, anti-migration, and anti-corrosion properties required in many diverse applications.

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.
