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.”

Target Condition: Distribution of Power—Denounce the Ounce
11/05/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionHave you ever wondered why the PCB design segment uses ounces to describe copper thickness? There’s a story behind all of this—a story that’s old, dusty, and more than a little absurd. (Note that I didn’t add “Like many of us.”) Legend has it that back in the days of copper tinkers and roofing tradesmen, the standard was set when a craftsman hammered out a sheet of copper until it weighed one ounce, when its area conveniently matched the square of the king’s foot.

11/04/2025 | Steven Bowles, Lockheed MartinIt’s 6:45 a.m. in a modern A-frame cabin tucked into the misty edges of the Cascade Range in Arlington, Washington. I’ve just made a quick Nespresso, checked my calendar of virtual meetings, and verified the Airbnb’s Wi-Fi speed is holding steady. In the next room, my wife Lynsey corrals our six kids into breakfast while planning a day trip to Seattle’s Children’s Museum. By 7:30, I’m camera-ready in a makeshift office nook, leading a discussion on HDI PCB design for an IPC standards committee. After a busy day, our Bowles crew, ranging in age from 1 to 10 years old, is hands-on with activities and exhibits in the museum.
