Peelable masks, conformal coatings and wire tacking materials now cured at low temperature

The BlueWave LED offers cooler cures than traditional UV systems, has no bulbs to change, no warm-up, and produces a constant light intensity for thousands of hours. This spot-curing system works using an array of surface-mount LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) instead of traditional metal halide or mercury bulbs. The LEDs produce visible light energy in a relatively narrow wave-band centered at 410 nm, as contrasted to a typical broad-band, high-pressure UV bulb (300-500 nm). This system emits a maximum visible light intensity output of over 2,500 mW/cm2 from an 8 mm diameter lightguide, and allows users to adjust intensity output from 0% to 100%.

Intertronics offer a broad range of one-part, solvent-free electronic materials which cure in seconds upon exposure to UV/visible light. They do not emit HAPs (hazardous air pollutants) or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) upon cure and are suited to a wide variety of applications for circuit protection and electronic assembly since they are both electrically insulating and designed for various operations including conformal coating, encapsulation, bonding, thermal management, and masking. IPC approved, MIL-I-46058C and UL listed self-extinguishing grades are also available. Most products are available in multiple-viscosity grades, so material flow may be tailored to the individual application.
