Electrolube Announces New Test Results for Flexible Silicone Coating

Electrolube has announced recent test results for their Flexible Silicone Coating, FSC. Performed by SGS in Beijing, the tests revealed that FSC meets the IEC standard 61086-2. The fast drying silicone-based conformal coating has been designed to protect PCBs exposed to high humidity environments. FSC passed all tests for coatings for loaded printed wire boards, including thermal aging, flexibility, damp heat and salt mist. Samples were tested and passed for insulation resistance and breakdown voltage after the damp heat and salt mist experiments.

During the tests conducted by SGS, visual inspection using ultraviolet light revealed no voids, holes or delamination on the samples and no loss of adhesion or discolouration of the copper conductors. Furthermore, SGS performed a test for tackiness which revealed that when a 500g load is applied for 1 minute, FSC remains non-tacky.

“When the product was first formulated and tested internally, we realised that it was going to be outstanding. These tests have confirmed this. I am very pleased with the results, I’m sure this product will be very successful in the market,” comments Ron Jakeman, Managing Director.
