COMPATIBILITY
Chemask
is generally compatible with most
materials used in printed circuit board
fabrication. As with any solder masking
agent, compatibility with substrate must be
determined on a non-critical area prior to
use.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
For industrial use only.
Read MSDS carefully prior to use.
Chemask
solder masking agent is
engineered for all electronic manufacturing
applications. When applying by hand using
squeeze bottle or spatula, insure that all areas
of the pretinned hole are evenly covered on
the side to be soldered. Automatic
dispensing equipment may also be used as
appropriate.
REMOVAL: After allowing the mask to
become fully cured, peelable solder mask
can be removed by hand or by the use of
tweezers. Depending on ambient conditions,
peelable mask may remain on assemblies for
extended periods of time prior to component
insertion.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA
CFC, HCFC, CL. SOLV., VOC, and HFC numbers
shown are the content by weight. Ozone depletion
potential (ODP) is determined in accordance with the
Montreal Protocol and U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990. The
ODP of this product is 0.0. It is the sum of the ODP of
the substances that may contribute to the depletion of
stratospheric ozone, based upon the weight of each
substance in the product’s formulation.
