| Isolation & safety | The heated area is an electrical device, which is live when connected to a power supply. Therefore the coating needs to be covered with a dielectric layer for isolating against direct contact. Depending on the application a hydrophobic isolating coating is necessary. The national legal rules and regulations do apply. WARNING: Incorrect use together with electricity may cause fire hazard. |
| Storage | Keep out of reach of children. |
| Processing | During application do not eat, drink or smoke. Provide good ventilation while processing and drying. Do not breathe in sprayed product. Wash immediately with plenty of water after contact with eyes or skin. |
| Transport and disposal | See Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). |
Application notes:
| General Information | In addition to this document, users are strongly advised to refer to and follow all additional relevant documents (e.g. Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), instructions, etc.), which are available from FutureCarbon (www.future-carbon.de/contact/inquiry-form). |
| Field of application | Carbo e-Therm ACR120-200A is a heated coating used for heating applications with temperatures up to 120 ºC. |
| Substrate | Good adhesion on glass and ceramics. Please contact FutureCarbon for further data. |
| Surface preparation | The surface should be dry, dust-free and free of any contamination that may interfere with adhesion. |
| Preparation | Prior to every coating application, thorough stirring of the dispersion with a suitable tool is required. Opened containers need to be sealed tightly and contents should be applied as quickly as possible. |
| Thinning | Dilution with water (up to 10% by weight) w/o change of specific resistance is possible. A thinner coating will be the consequence of thinning and should be considered for the design of the device. |
| Processing methods | Carbo e-Therm ACR120-200A was developed for screen printing. Further application methods are possible but shall be tested. Key is the realization of a homogeneous coating. |
| Dimensioning of heated application |
The dimensioning of the heating application in terms of heater geometry, coating thickness, heating power and power supply are mandatory for the system design. Please refer to further documentation. |
| Electrical connection, power supply |
A connection of the coating to a power supply via electrodes is mandatory to deliver the energy for the heating. A variety of conductive materials can be used as electrodes, for example copper band. The national legal rules and regulations do apply. The electrode material needs to be selected accordingly. |
| Cleaning | Cleaning of machinery and equipment with warm water or a high pressure cleaner immediately after usage is recommended. |
