Aculon HB | Hydrophilic based

Main features

Used as provided for wipe applications
Use for dip treatment applications
Gentle enough for many substrates.

Product Description

Aculon's HB is a water-based specialty coating capable of supplying hydrophilic properties across a broad spectrum of metal or glass surfaces. It is quick and easy to apply and in some cases may also be used on plastics.
Aculon HB: Aculon HB is a water-based coating product that imparts hydrophilic functionality to multiple substrate types.

How to apply the Aculon HB

STEP 1 ⇨ CLEAN	STEP 2 ⇨ TREAT	STEP 3 ⇨ DRY
Parts must be sufficiently clean before treatment for proper bonding and effective application. To clean, solvents or soap and water can be used to degrease the substrate. Then, a cleaner is recommended to remove monolayer-scale contaminants.	Wipe - With the wipe, thoroughly apply pressure to the location where the hydrophilic properties are required	This product does not require a cure, however, in some cases and substrates a brief 5-minute cure at 60⁰C will benefit.
Dip - Fully immerse the part in the treatment solution for 1 minute, then remove the substrate.

Application Tips

If any bath will be subject to environmental contamination, recirculate the solution through a 0.2-micron polypropylene media filter.
Dip tanks should be made of polypropylene or PTFE polymers.
The product should be used at room temperature.
Coat the substrate as soon as possible after cleaning to prevent recontamination.
This material may be reapplied as needed.
Dry temperatures and conditions should be optimized based on substrate and durability requirements.
