ELPESPEC® Auxiliary Products
ELPESPEC® Auxiliary Products can be used universally in the processing of any kind of coating material: They simplify and facilitate the application of circuit printing inks, conformal coatings and casting compounds in electronics manufacturing.
ELPESPEC® Auxiliary products for circuit printing
For circuit printing we offer universal products such as thinners and retarders, screen openers and antistatic sprays for screen printing, besides specific auxiliaries for processing photoimageable coating materials such as Stouffer grey step wedges, defoamants or special strippers.
Flow Cups for Determination of Viscosity (Flow Time)
- Dip Cup acc. to DIN 53211, 4 mm nozzle
- Polyamide cup with stainless steel nozzle
- for a fast approximate determination of coating viscosity for roller coating, curtain coating or spray application
- easy to handle
- ideal for production and incoming goods inspection
Screen opener HP 5200
- Spray to dissolve dried printed circuit coatings from screens, no need for complicated washing proceses to clean screens after work breaks
- highly effective, fast action
- silicone- and grease-free, thus no occurrence of surface defects/dewettings or smearing in the subsequent printing process
Cleaning agent R 5899
- For use in automatic screen washers, extremely high flash point (> 100 °C)
- low vapour pressure < 0.1 hPa at 20 °C, thus no VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) per the EU directive 1999/13/EC
- not classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008, easily biodegradable in acc. with OECD Test 301 A
Cleaning agent R 5800 series
- Fast and intensive cleaning effect
- R 5814/R 5817: Removes coatings from screens, tools and after print errors; R 5814 is lower in odour than R 5817 while R 5817 has a quicker cleaning effect
- R 5821: High flash point (+32 °C), suitable for use in automatic screen washers and for cleaning ink processing equipment
Touch-up coatings / repair coatings: Repair coating EH 13.767
- Application by brush
- Green opaque, mat 1-pack coating
- Dries at room temperature, beneficial for the repair of pcb assemblies after completed soldering as they often must not be exposed to further thermal stress
- Recommended auxiliary product: Cleaning agent R 5817
ELPESPEC® Auxiliary products for conformal coating
The assembler will find practical aids such as peelable solder masks from the squeeze bottle for partially covering assembled printed circuit boards in wave soldering processes, dosing accessories for applying dam and fill gels, or flow cups for adjusting the processing viscosity.
Dosing accessories for the application of dam-and-fill gels
- Dispensing pistol and dispensing needles fitting the 30 and 55 ml cartridges of ELPEGUARD dam-and-fill gels
- standard dispensing needle no. 14, Ø 1.60 mm
- standard dispensing needle no. 18, Ø 0.84 mm
- standard dispensing needle no. 22, Ø 0.41 mm
- standard dispensing needle 45° curved, no. 16, Ø 1.65 mm
ELPESPEC® Auxiliary products for processing casting compounds
Sealing mastic for sealing work prior to potting, grip agents to improve the adhesion, mould release agents, accelerating agents, cleaning agents and many more products to aid in the processing of casting compounds.
Bubble-free: Evacuation made easy – for bubble-free potting results in a few minutes
- The Bubble-free kit comes as a aluminium desiccator with polycarbonate lid, manometer and vacuum pump.
- The transparent lid allows oberservation of the degassing process.
- Quantities of > 500 g material can be evacuated in one step.
Mould Release Agent EH 13.650
- solvent-free, silicone- and grease-free
- auxiliary product in the processing of ELPECAST casting compounds based on epoxy / polyurethane resins
- for pre-treating the surfaces to be potted; after curing, the potting can be removed from the mould easily and without residue
