Creative Materials Releases New Solvent-Based Urethane Conformal Coating
February 3, 2025 | Creative Materials, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Creative Materials Inc., a leading innovator in specialty coatings, is proud to announce product: 111-27, a high dielectric strength solvent-based one-component urethane conformal coating designed to offer outstanding long-term performance in demanding environments primarily in the aerospace and defense field. Filling a gap left in the market, 111-27 delivers the key performance benefits that have been relied upon for many years.
Key Features of 111-27:
- Room Temperature Cure: 111-27 is a one-component urethane coating that can be easily applied and cured at room temperature, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of products.
- Superior Color Retention: One of the standout features of 111-27 is its ability to retain its light color, even after prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions, including UV light, moisture, and other elements.
- High Durability: The coating delivers excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and environmental stresses, ensuring long-lasting protection and performance.
- Easy Application: As a solvent-based product, 111-27 provides excellent flow and coverage, offering a smooth finish that is resistant to cracking or peeling. Ideal application method is automated or manual spraying.
Other Benefits include:
- Reworkable
- Solvent resistant
- Extremely high dielectric constant (1300 volts/mil)
- No cracking when flexed
- High abrasion resistance
- Moisture protection in harsh environments
- Electrical properties per MIL-I-46058C
Applications: 111-27 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
