HYDROFEND 101-X
HYDROPHOBIC, OLEOPHOBIC

HYDROFEND 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 101-X concentrations of less than 4% are used. Dries quickly at room temperature.

Color: No color when dry
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.

All Chemodyn conformal coatings are low toxicity, non-ozone depleting, and RoHS compliant. Chemodyn 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.

• Membranes & Filtration: Maintains air permeability, Rayl values, and acoustic penetrance in fabrics, mesh, filters, and membranes.

• Precision Components: Suitable for MR heads and other sensitive electronic parts.
