Safety, handling, storage and shelf life

To avoid thermal decomposition, the coating solution should not be heated above 150°C (302°F), and the dried fluorinated

polymer should not be heated to temperatures above 225°C (437°F); which, in general, is lower than the onset of thermal

degradation under TGA test conditions. See SDS for thermal degradation products. When stored under conditions of

16-27°C (60-80°F) and less than 60% R.H. in the original, unopened container, the shelf life is certified for four years. Before

using this product, please read the current product Safety Data Sheet (available through your 3M sales or technical service

representative or at www.3M.com/Novec) and the precautionary statement on the product package. Follow all applicable

precautions and directions. Always practice smart and safe industrial hygiene practices. Do not spray apply without proper

ventilation and/or personal protective equipment (PPE).

Application techniques

Coating can be applied by spray, dip, brush or selectively deposited as per the safety and handling requirements stated

in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Water should be kept out of coating bath as contact will interfere with coating deposition.

Surfaces to be coated should be clean and dry before application. Masking may not be required for larger connector types,

but testing is always suggested. The solvent will evaporate quickly, and the fluorinated polymer film will dry in minutes.
