The genuine replacement for DAG 915, used widely in electron microscopy and electronic circuitry for capacitor terminations, electrostatic screening, coating of UHF reflectors and electroplating on non-conductors. A certificate of conformity can be supplied if required.
Acheson DAG 1415M is also available with a handy applicator.
These products are Highly flammable and Harmful.
Electrodag 1415M is the latest in a series of coatings which provide Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
and it has been specifically designed to give increased coverage while maintaining a very high conductivity. Thus, it is a very economic means of achieving excellent shielding against radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI). It maintains its low resistance even after exposure to heat, cold, humidity and salt spray. It is an air-drying system that requires no primer or top coat. It is easily applied by spray or brush and is compatible with plastics commonly used for electronic equipment enclosures.
Electrodag is Highly flammable and an Irritant.

Surface preparation: Make sure substrate is clean (free from dirt and grease) and dry.
Mixing and dilution: Thoroughly homogenize Electrodag 1415M before use. Check to make sure there are no unmixed solids at the bottom of the container. Use Electrodag 1415M neat for brush application. For spray application dilute the product at a ratio of 2 : 1 by weight product to diluent. Use a blend of MEK/Diacetone alcohol (2 : 1 by weight) for dilution. If the evaporation speed of this mixture is too low, reduce the amount of DAA. A conventional paddle-agitated pressure tank system should be used when applying Electrodag
1415M by spray. It is recommended to maintain a spray pressure of 2 to 2.5 bar and to use a spray
gun with a nozzle diameter varying from 1 to 1.5mm. Small prototype runs may be sprayed with well
mixed product, using suction cup spray equipment. A 10 to 15μm coating thickness is recommended
for good EMI shielding performance. Avoid “dry spraying”, for maximum adhesion and conductivity.
Drying - This product dries to touch in about 10 minutes and can be handled after a further 10 minutes
approximately, depending on ambient temperature. Good coating properties will be achieved after 4 -
8 hours air drying (depending on coating thickness and temperature). For production runs, conventional forced drying methods (30 min./70-80°C) may be used for faster processing. Forced drying of the coating will noticeably improve conductivity.
Cleaning - For high volume production where masks are used, they can be cleaned with ester (butylacetate,
ethylacetate) or ketone (MIBK, MEK) solvents. Spray and mixing equipment can be cleaned with the same solvents Typical Properties (on Lexan panels dried 30 min./70ºC)
