Metron® Specialty Fluids

LIQUID 2-WAY TAPE

LIQUID 2-WAY TAPE is an excellent pressure sensitive adhesive. It is an adhesive which dries in about 20 minutes to a “tacky” surface, does not tend to harden or get sticky with time.

It may be applied to nuts or bolts for “vibration proofing”. The bolt may be removed over and over again. It adheres to Teflon. Use also for prepositioning parts, and film overlays.

Liquid 2-way tape is available in our standard tip pen in Clear (L2) and Yellow (L2Y).

METRONLUBE-1 LUBRICANT

METRONLUBE-1- ELECTRICAL CONTACT LUBRICANT is an excellent electrical contact lubricant which is very effective even where contact force is high. It is colorless, chemically neutral, water repellent, physiologically safe, light, weather proof and does not volatize easily. It protects base metals against corrosion and oxidation.

A thin film reduces the coefficient of friction for copper, silver or gold-plated surfaces to 0.05-0.15 and can increase the life of hard gold-plated contacts by as much as 100 times. It is excellent for contacts such as P.C. Board “fingers” because it prevents oxides and sulfides from forming and increasing electrical resistance.

Where long life is important, this contact lubricant is superior to mineral based products, is thermally stable, silicon free _won’t sum or vaporize has good wetting properties on metal, does not combine with water, has optimum viscosity with low temperature coefficients and a relatively low specific-resistance.

Metronlube-1 is also an excellent high-grade, non-gumming, non-vaporizing lubricant for mechanical uses from –55ºC to =250ºC.

Metronlube-1 is available in our standard tip pen.

Water Soluble Solder Mask (Blue)
Our water soluble mask protects PC boards plated thru holes, contacts, pins, posts, terminals and gold fingers during wave soldering or reflow, and is a solder masking agent.

Its characteristics are as follows:

• Plastic safe
• Nonflammable
• Ozone safe
• Rinses off with water cleaning systems
• UV detectable
• Noncorrosive
• Safe for sensitive metals like gold, silver, and copper
• Can be used as a water soluble tacking compound
• RoHS Compliant

Metron® Water Soluble Peelable (Pink)
The Metron® Water Soluble Peelable is a peelable temporary solder masking agent.

It’s characteristics are as follows:

• Tack-free drying in 30 minutes
• Simple to use- just peel off the dried masking agent
• Latex material works with flux systems and is resistant to cleaning solvents
• Perfect for protecting contacts during wave soldering
• Can be used as a protective mask during conformal coating processes for: switches, pins, posts, contact, and edge connections
• RoHS Compliant
• Loaded in our standard tip marker

Metron Marker “Transflour”
