PFC 1604V is a four percent fluoropolymer solution in a fluorosolvent (BP=160°C) commonly used for electrowetting applications. Thin films dry in 4-6 hours at room temperature to a surface energy of about 16 dynes/cm. Heating to 160°C for 30 minutes optimizes adhesion and reduces the surface energy to about 10 dynes/cm. PFC1604V is recommended for spin, spray or blot applications. Size: 25 grams Shelf life: Two years (in sealed unopened container) Application methods: Immersion, spin, dipping, etc. Curing: 10 minutes when baked at 180°C Appearance: Clear, odorless and colorless film Contact angle to water: >115° Contact angle to oil: >65° Hardness: >2B pencil Flammability: Non-burning Heat stability: Continuous 150°C Max heat stability one hour: 250°C Refractive index: ~1.34 Toxicity of films: HMIS Rating Health = 1Use: R&D Solvent/chemical resistance: Excellent after curing Transparent: Yes Water contact angle: ~120° Dielectric constant (@ 100 MHz): 1.9
