M78H-41 Polyurethane Conformal Coating

Product Applications:

M78H-41 is a one-component polyurethane protective coating formulated with modified polyurethane resin, waterproofing additives, and functional auxiliaries. It is designed to form a transparent, glossy, and strongly adherent protective film on printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic components, and metal surfaces.

The cured coating provides high electrical insulation resistance and is suitable for the protection of both high-voltage and low-voltage electrical equipment. It offers reliable resistance to moisture, water exposure, acids, alkalis, and contaminated water, helping protect sensitive electronic assemblies in demanding operating environments.

M78H-41 dries quickly at room temperature and is easy to apply, making it suitable for efficient coating operations. It is primarily used for waterproofing and moisture-proof protection of PCBs, electronic components, connectors, and metal parts.

After application, the coating creates a highly hydrophobic surface that helps repel water and reduce the risk of surface condensation in humid environments or under significant temperature changes. M78H-41 is an effective solution for electronic waterproofing, PCB moisture protection, electrical insulation, and metal surface protection.

Process & Precautions:

  · Use neat or with special thinner X-4H to adjust working viscosity and film thickness. In open containers the thinner evaporates, raising specific gravity and viscosity, causing difficult, uneven application that harms moisture protection and electrical performance — replenish X-4H regularly. For brushing, apply small amounts in multiple passes to avoid moisture absorption, gelation and caking.

  · M78H-41 conformal coating must be used together with the special thinner to avoid possible adverse reactions such as precipitation, delamination or self-polymerization.

  · If not used for a long time, pour it out of the open container and store it sealed to avoid excessive evaporation or gelation.

  · M78H-41 can remedy defective soldering residues on circuit boards. When unsuitable rosin-free or low-solid fluxes are used, boards may show defects; in the following cases M78H-41 can be used for remediation:

  · a: If post-solder residues turn white or shadowy, brush M78H-41 onto the surface; it absorbs the residues into the film, forming a thin transparent film.

  · b: If post-solder residue resistance is too low, causing leakage, the previous remedy was cleaning (some fluxes are hard to clean and leave white residues).

This function requires low rosin content; if residues are too heavy, clean the board before coating to avoid uneven coating.
