StenCoat CC 2000 is a conductive
coating designed for painting plastic parts which are plated with
nickel and/or copper. This coating:
- Is easy to mix, spray and
cure
- Yields a tough and durable
coating when cured at low temperature
- Has a low volatile organic
component (VOC) of 1.1 lb/gallon
- Provides excellent adhesion
to ABS, polycarbonate and other plastic substrates
- Offers a low plating time to improve plant operating efficiency
StenCoat CC 2000 is a three-pack
waterborne coating consisting of the following components:
- Basecoat--CC 2000A
- Pigment--CC 2000B
- Curing Agent--CC 2000C
Painted parts may be plated with
copper and nickel plating solutions. In general, a 15 to 20
minute plating time is sufficient to achieve suitable conductivity
for copper plated parts. Extending the plating time is not
necessary, and is not recommended, as lengthy immersion in plating
solutions may create problems with the plastic substrate and paint.
The exact plating time will vary with the specific plating line and
the desired final conductivity.
