Upon cure, this coating exhibits excellent adhesive properties, a high degree of flexibility, thermal stability, high conductivity and superior peel strength. CHO-FLEX 601 coating can be applied by spraying or silk-screening methods, and can withstand wave solder tempratures above 500°F without losing any of its exceptional properties. FEATURES ⩕ One part silver-filled polyurethane coating.  Spray or screen application. Օ High degree of flexibility.  Withstands wave solder tempթratures in excess of 500°F (262°C).  Exceptional pot life at room tempթrature. Cures only when heated, i.e.>250°F (122°C).  Cured resistivity of 100 milliohms or better after wave solder process. APPLICATION CHO-FLEX 601 coating may be silk-screened as is. If thinning is desired, the coating may be thinned with DBE (Dibasic Ester). For spray application, thin CHO-FLEX coating with a sovent blend of MEK/Butanol/lsopropal alcohol at a ratio of 15/10/6 by volume. Thin two parts of coating with one part of thinner and mix completely (preferably in paint shaker).
