Technical Data Sheet
Premium Polyurethane Conformal Coating
Description
4223F is a one-part, heat curing, UL 746E certified, thermoset polyurethane conformal coating. It cures
to a durable, flexible, scratch resistant, and smooth finish. It is easy to apply and can be handled in
15 minutes. It cures in only 2 hours at 100 °C (212 °F). It may be removed with appropriate strippers, or
soldered through for repair or rework.
4223F protects printed circuit boards in chemically challenging environments. It provides strong
protection against aggressive chemicals, corrosion, moisture, fungus, dirt, dust, thermal shock, abrasion,
short circuit, high-voltage arcing, and static discharge.

Compatibility
The 4223F adheres to most plastics and metals used to house printed circuit assemblies; however, it
is not compatible with contaminants like water, oil, or greasy flux residues that may affect adhesion. If
contamination is present, first clean the surface to be coated with MG Chemicals 824 Isopropyl alcohol.
Attention!
Do not use on thin plastics or plastics where you want to keep original surface. The product contains a
controlled amount of solvents designed to chemically etch plastic surfaces to help adhesion.
Storage
Store between -5 to 40 °C [23 to 104 °F] in a dry area, away from sunlight.
Health and Safety
Please see the 4223F-Aerosol Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for further details on transportation, storage,
handling, safety guidelines, and regulatory compliance.

Application Instructions
Spraying:
1.
Shake the can vigorously.
2.
Spray a test pattern to ensure good flow quality.
3.
At an approximate distance of 20–25 cm (8–10 in), tilt the board 45° from a vertical position and spray
a thin and even coat. Use spray-and-release strokes with an even motion to avoid excess paint in one
spot. Start and end each stroke off the surface.
4.
Wait 3 min before applying another coat to avoid trapping solvent.
5.
Rotate the board 90° and spray again to ensure good coverage.
6.
Apply other coats until desired thickness is achieved (go to step 3).
7.
Let dry for 3 min at room temperature before heat cure.
Clearing nozzle between use:
1.
Invert the can upside down.
2.
Hold button until clear propellant comes out. The propellant should clear in seconds.
Cure Instructions
Room temperature cure:
Do NOT cure at room temperature. This product will only cure at elevated temperatures.
Heat cure:
• Put in oven at 80 °C [176 °F] for 16 h.
—OR—
• Put in oven at 100 °C [212 °F] for 2 h.
