Creative Materials 118-02
118-02 is a flexible, electrically insulating coating suitable for application by pad printing, spraying, dipping and syringe dispensing. This product features excellent adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, glass, and a variety of other surfaces. Unlike conventional insulating materials, this product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for 118-02 include, but are not limited to, ribbon cables, polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, and membrane switches.\nFeatures\nFlexible

- Suggested Handling and Curing
Stir well before using. 118-02 is ready to use as supplied for spray and/or dip coating. Additional thinning may be accomplished by adding CMI #114-20(slow drying), or#113- 39(fast drying) thinner. Good properties for most applications result when cured of 5 minutes at 130°C. Good properties are also obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 175°C. NOTE: Add 1phr B-187 catalyst when using low temperature cures. The use of B-187 is suggested to impart a high degree of chemical resistance. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications
