Electrolube Unveils New 2K Coating Sprayable Kit
September 13, 2017 | ElectrolubeEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Hot on the heels of the launch of revolutionary two-part Conformal Coating range (2K series), Electrolube are unveiling a brand new kit to mix, dispense and spray 2K300 Conformal Coating. The new kit offers some key advantages for customer trials and spray-testing requirements as it facilitates full testing and evaluation of the 2K300 series without taking existing dispensing equipment out of production.
2K300 is a two-part system, offering high flexibility and low stress across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +130°C. The coating is hydrophobic and highly resistant to condensation, salt mist and chemicals and is fully IPC-CC-830 compliant.
Throughout the development of the entire 2K range, Electrolube has worked closely with selective coating machine manufacturers to ensure that formulations are optimised for application using commercially available dispensers. The new 2K300 Kit from Electrolube takes this one step further enabling easy testing and small production volumes to be coated without the necessity for dispensing equipment.
Head of Electrolube's Conformal Coatings Division, Phil Kinner, comments: “Electrolube can offer a Conformal Coating for virtually every type of application and this easily assembled kit will allow small production trials of our 2K300 series without a specialist dispenser. The kit comprises a resin kit, dilution fluid and a ready assembled aerosol for dispensing. It is designed as a one-time use kit.”
Electrolube Managing Director, Ron Jakeman, comments: “Electrolube is fast becoming the go-to resource for specialist technical solutions that solve customers’ manufacturing problems and help them bring high-quality products to market faster. This new kit will not only allow customers to trial our 2K300 solution, but is also ideally placed to cope with small production volumes.”

11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
