HUMISEAL HumiSeal 1B73EPA (1-LTR-CAN)

HumiSeal® 1B73EPA Acrylic Conformal Coating

Overview

HumiSeal® 1B73EPA is a fast-drying, single-component acrylic conformal coating designed for protection of printed circuit assemblies (PCAs). The coating provides excellent flexibility, electrical insulation performance, and environmental protection while offering UV fluorescence for easy inspection. It is easily repairable and is qualified for aerospace, defence, and electronic manufacturing applications requiring reliable protection against moisture, contamination, and thermal cycling.
