Electronic Grade Coatings
Electronic devices are more compact and sophisticated than ever, which can make it challenging to protect components
from environmental contaminants, such as moisture, sulfur, pollution and grime. Without proper protection, sensitive
electronic components can quickly corrode, often leading to electrical shorts, poor performance and device failure. The
solution: 3M™ Novec™ Electronic Grade Coatings – a family of clear, low viscosity, low surface tension solutions of
uorinated polymers carried in segregated hydrouoroether solvents. Easy to apply and electrically stable, they form
repellent lms designed to protect sensitive electronics from moisture, chemicals and corrosion.
Not for specication purposes. All values @ 25°C unless otherwise specied.

All Novec coatings can be applied using spray, dip or syringe methods. The methods listed are often preferred. Follow all applicable precautions and directions. Always practice smart and safe industrial hygiene practices.
Do not spray apply without proper ventilation and/or personal protective equipment (PPE).
2
Coating thickness varies based on application methods. Contact your 3M technical representative for more information on other application and thickness options. When spray coating, an automated atomized spray
machine is the preferred application method.
3
Novec 1710 coating should be used as a concentrate for maintaining Novec 1700 coating solids concentration in application baths or incorporated with resins or other liquids for a unique solution, rather than by itself.
4
Fluorescence of the polymer will depend on several factors including coating thickness; substrate type and color; UV source frequency, intensity and distance from the coating surface. The dye uoresces brightest under
higher frequency UV (254 nm). Please follow the UV lamp manufacturer’s recommendations on safe handling of UV radiation.

Preferred conditions. For other processing conditions, contact your 3M technical representative.

Global Warming Potential (GWP); The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denes a volatile organic compound (VOC) as “any compound of carbon, excluding carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid,
metallic carbides or carbonates and ammonium carbonate, which participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions.” Products marked “VOC exempt” are dened as VOC exempt per the U.S. EPA.

Contain <5% by weight PGMEA, a VOC. See SDS for specic product information.

Based upon the toxicity of close structural analog. Novec 1700, 1900 & 2700 series coatings are all based on the same polymer with insignicant dierences.
