3MTM NovecTM 1700 Electronic Grade Coating is a single component fluorinated polymer diluted in 3MTM NovecTM 7100DL Engineered Fluid, a segregated hydrofluoroether solvent, providing a low viscosity, low surface tension coating solution. Designed for moisture and corrosion protection of printed circuit boards and electronic components, it dries to an ultrathin, transparent coating with excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. It does not need curing and is easy to apply. Novec 1700 coating is nonflammable, non-ozone-depleting, low in toxicity, low in GWP, RoHS compliant and VOC exempt (per the U.S. EPA).*
Designed for moisture and corrosion protection of printed circuit boards and electronic components
Low surface energy allows lubricating oils, silicones, photoresist solutions, etc. to bead and drain freely from coated surfaces
Helps provide repellency and anti- wetting properties against liquids – water, hydrocarbons, silicones and photoresistsHelps protect against corrosive gases and vapors in addition to liquids
The polymer can endure up to 175°C (347°F) for 24 hours and maintain repellency
Essentially insoluble in solvents such as heptanes, toluene and water
Adheres to a variety of materials (metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, composites, laminates)
Thermally and electrically stable with good dielectric properties
Easy to apply – dries quickly without the need for post-application curing
Excellent surface wetting, especially under low standoff SMT components
Allows solder-through repairability
Non-flammable, non-ozone-depleting, and low in toxicity
Low in global warming potential (GWP), RoHS compliant and volatile organic compound (VOC) exempt (per the U.S. EPA)*
