PX
Fast-Dry Peelable Solder Mask
2222
Introduction
WonderMASK PX is a temporary, peelable, latex solder mask designed to dry in
half the time of standard peelable solder masks. It is hand applied and can
withstand fluxing, wave soldering and cleaning operations. It effectively masks
and protects open through-holes and underside components in a wave soldering
process, and can be used as a conformal coatings mask.
WonderMASK PX can remain on all areas of the board until ready for test, and
then, be easily peeled away. In addition, WonderMASK PX is ideally suited for
situations where a thick coat of mask is required. WonderMASK PX has been
specially formulated to cure homogenously, virtually eliminating any limit on the
deposition thickness.
