MBS-CR^®

Moisture Barrier Silicone

Single component, silicone elastomer coating designed to stabilize semiconductor junctions and surfaces, and for the environmental protection of electronic components – used for diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, thick film and thin film microelectronic circuits modules.

FEATURES:

• Single component self-catalyzed system- simple and economical to use
• Unaffected by humidity
• Excellent electrical characteristics
• Wide operating temperature range – -65 °C to 275 °C (continuous)
• Useful as protective coating, encapsulant or potting

MBS-CR Moisture Barrier Silicone
Description

MBS-CR, Moisture Barrier Silicon, is a medium viscosity translastic product specially processed from highly purified siloxane compounds. This product is particularly formulated to provide greater protection against humidity in electronic applications. MBS-CR possesses self-catalyzing properties and cures as a single component system to form a tough protective coating impervious to moisture. Significantly, the additions of curing agents, catalysts or accelerators are not needed to effect polymerization. Furthermore, the coating shows good mechanical and electrical characteristics over a wide range of ambient conditions. Cold storage (< 5 °C) is recommended. MBS-CR is supplied at a viscosity of 50,000-60,000 cps.

Properties of MBS-CR

APPLICATION:

MBS-CR is recommended as a protective, moisture barrier coating for semiconductor devices and as an encapsulant for sensitive microelectronic circuits and other electronic components. MBS-CR is applied by any convenient method and cured at 125 °C for 15 minutes followed by 4 hour cure at 150 °C. The post cure can be accelerated by heating at 250 °C for two hour or longer. Although the published electrical properties can be achieved with the 150°C cure temperature, a 200°C cure temperature is needed to attain optimum electrical properties.
