VIRIDYN 101-X
HYDROPHOBIC, OLEOPHOBIC, ULTRA-THIN
VIRIDYN 101-X is a hydrophobic and oleophobic nano-coating used to protect electronics and fluidic devices from water, biofluids, oils, and similar exposures.
Application methods: Easily applied by dip, spray, spin, flow, or syringe coating. Masking not required when VIRIDYN 101-X concentrations of less than 4% are used. Dries quickly at room temperature.
Color: Transparent
Water contact angle: over 105°
Mineral oil contact angle: over 60°
Key Features & Benefits
Hydrophobic & Oleophobic: Repels both water and oils, achieving an oleophobicity grade of up to 8.
Acrylic-Based Polymer: Provides durable and flexible protection.
Low Viscosity & Surface Tension: Ensures even coating and penetration into small features.
Transparent Coating: Maintains visibility of underlying components. UV tracer compatible for ease of quality control inspections.
Customizable Concentrations: Available in 0.2% to 10% polymer solutions in various solvents.
Corrosion & Damage Protection: Prevents corrosion, sweat damage, tin whiskers, and dendrites.
Salt-Fog Resistance: Protects critical electronics in high-stress harsh environments.
RF-Transparent: at 2 microns or less.
All ViriDyn conformal coatings are low toxicity, non-ozone depleting and RoHS compliant. ViriDyn conformal coatings are available with flammable and non-flammable solvent components.
Major Applications
Electronics Protection: Ideal for printed circuit boards, ball-grid arrays, micro-motors, MEMS, and hard disk drive components.
Laboratory & Medical Devices: Used for coating plastic laboratory devices and microfluidic devices.
Precision Components: Suitable for MR heads and other sensitive electronic parts.
Novec™ Replacements: Coatings derived from the 101-X family are excellent replacements for Novec™ 1700 series and Novec™ 1900 series electronic grade coatings. PFAS-free alternatives are also available. All ViriDyn Novec™ replacements are RoHS and REACH compliant.
