3M Novec 1700 Electronic Grade Coating Moisture Corrosion Protection
Type: Electronic Grade Fluoropolymer
Solids: 2.0 wt%
Dielectric Constant: 3.2
VOC Status: Exempt
Packing: 5KG / 20KG drum
3M Novec 1700 Electronic Grade Coating is a single-component fluorinated polymer solution designed for moisture and corrosion protection of printed circuit boards and electronic components. Diluted in 3M Novec 7100DL Engineered Fluid, this low-viscosity, low-surface-tension coating solution dries to an ultrathin, transparent film with excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. It provides effective repellency against water, hydrocarbons, silicones, photoresists, and corrosive gases, making it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronics in harsh environments.
Novec 1700 requires no curing — it dries quickly at room temperature and can be handled in under two minutes. The coating adheres well to a wide range of substrates including metals, glass, ceramics, polymers, and laminates, and offers solder-through repairability for easy rework. With a dielectric constant of 3.2 at 1 kHz and dielectric breakdown strength of 2000 V/mil, it provides excellent electrical insulation. Environmentally, it is nonflammable, non-ozone-depleting, low in toxicity, low GWP, RoHS compliant, and VOC exempt (per U.S. EPA). Its long shelf life (4 years) and ease of application by spray, dip, brush, or selective dispensing make it a cost-effective alternative to traditional conformal coatings.
