This coating can be used in the disk drive, MEMS, LCD and printed circuit board industries to provide anti-wetting, anti-stiction, anti-migration and anti-corrosion properties.
It is a replacement for Fluorad coating FC-722, FC-724, FC-725 and FC-732.

When applied to clean, moisture-free surfaces such as copper, aluminum, ceramic, steel, tin or glass, Novec coating to a thin transparent film with excellent anti-wetting, anti-stiction, anti-migration and anti-corrosion properties.

This makes it useful as a coating for a variety of applications, including :

Printed circuit boards
MR heads
Micro motors
Ball bearing tracks
MEMS
Ink jet print cartridges
Various hard disk drive components
TFT-LCD

The low surface energy film repels liquids such as lubricating oils, silicones and photoresist solutions used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. What's more, Novec coating is easy to apply, requires no masking in most applications, and air-dries in seconds.
