Premium Polyurethane Conformal Coating
4223D Technical Data Sheet
4223D-Liquid
Description
Our 4223D Polyurethane Conformal Coating is an IPC-CC-830B and UL 94-V0 certified, heat curing, one
part product that provides an excellent scratch and chemical resistant finish. This one part coating is easy
to use and repair: it does not require special or costly equipment or materials. It is ideal for chemically
challenging environments.
The 4223D urethane protects electric circuits against aggressive chemicals, moisture, dirt, dust, thermal
shocks, and scratches. This avoids corrosion and physical damages to electric components. It insulates
against high-voltage arcing, shorts, and static discharges, allowing for traces to be put closer to one
another.
Applications & Usages
The 4223D coating improves reliability, operational range, and lengthens the life of electrical and
electronic components and assemblies. It finds application especially for corrosive environments such as
those found in the farming, mining, smelting, oil exploration, and marine industries.
Common urethane conformal coatings uses are with electric generators, motors, transformers, relays, and
air bag controllers. Commercial applications include fire alarms components, sensors, automotive
electronics, electrical connectors, and porcelains.

Compatibility
The 4223D polyurethane coating is compatible with most materials found on printed circuit assemblies;
however, in an uncured state it is not compatible with contaminants like water, oil, and greasy flux
residues. Therefore, it is extremely important to clean the printed circuit assembly thoroughly with a
suitable electronic cleaner before applying the coating.
The chosen electronic cleaner should remove moisture, wax, greases, oils, and all other contaminants that
are known to cause defects in this type of conformal coating. (See recommended cleaners on page 3.)
Health, Safety, and Environmental Awareness
Please see the 4223D-Liquid
Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) for more details on transportation,
storage, handling and other security guidelines.
Environmental Impact:
The volatile organic content is 55.2% (534 g/L) by EPA and WHMIS standards.
This product meets the European Directive
2011/65/EU Annex II (ROHS);
recasting 2002/95/EC.
Health and Safety:
The liquid and spray is flammable and should be kept away from flames and other
ignition sources. As with most paint materials, avoid breathing in fumes or direct contact with the
material. Solvents therein can cause irritation and other symptoms like headaches, pain, as well as having
long term exposure effects.

Wear safety glasses and disposable gloves. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Use in the open air, in fume
hoods, or in well ventilated area. For short or long term (8 hours) at levels of exposures exceeding of
100 ppm of xylene or ethylbenzene, use NIOSH approved respirator with organic vapor cartridges rated
for this order of concentrations.
The cured coating presents no known hazard.
Spray Gun Application Instructions
Follow the procedure below for best results.
To apply the required thickness by weight
1. Mix thoroughly, and spray a test pattern.
This step ensures good flow quality and helps establish appropriate distance to avoid runs.
2. At a distance of 20 to 25 cm (8 to 10 inches), hold the gun at around 45°, and spray a thin and
even coat onto the horizontal board. For best results, use spray-and-release strokes with an even
motion to avoid excess paint in one spot.
3. Before the next coat, rotate the board 90° to ensure good coverage.
4. Wait at least 2 minutes, and spray another coat. The delay avoids
trapping solvent between coats.
5. Apply other coats until desired thickness is achieved. (Go to Step 3)
6. Let dry for 3-5 minutes (flash off time) at room temperature.
To accelerate cure by heat
•
After flash off, put in oven or under heat lamp at ≤80
°C for 18 hours.
