Henkel Releases Technomelt® for PCB Masking


Irvine, CA — Henkel Adhesive Tech- nologies has added a new formula- tion to its series of Technomelt® high- performance, low-pressure molding materials. The newest material, Technomelt AS 8998, has been de- signed to provide a streamlined and economical alternative to convention- al masking techniques.


ing methods, the slump-resistant AS 8998 offers a precise, automated, and easy-to-remove approach to compo- nent or area masking. Today’s manufacturing environ-


Technomelt dispensible masking material. The new formulation provides


simple and fast dispensibility to mask “keep out zones” for printed cir- cuit assemblies that will undergo subsequent coating or chemical depo- sition processes. Unlike traditional manual tap-


ments dictate high-throughput solu- tions for miniaturized products. Henkel’s new material is compatible with common automated dispensing systems to allow for quick, precise deposition in small ar eas, which en- sures accurate coverage where needed with no material migration. This is an improvement over manual taping methods, which are labor- and time-intensive and have only limited accuracy, particularly for very small parts. Also, the new material peels off cleanly, which is an ad- vantage over UV or liq- uid masking products. Technomelt AS


8998 is a silicone-free, RoHS-compli- ant material that has excellent green strength immediately after dispens- ing and solidifies upon cooling with no induced (thermal or UV) cooling required. The material is suitable for thermal processes up to 100°C


(212°F), which makes it useable for most coating applications. Compati- ble with numerous substrate sur- faces, the hot melt material provides good adhesion during various coating processes, after which it peels off quickly, leaving defined edges and no


residue. Contact: Henkel Electronic Ma-
