ABchimie DVA XY Acrylic Thinner
- Designed for acrylic conformal coatings
- Optimized for AVR80 XY
- Ensures proper viscosity for dip, spray, and automated coating processes
Product Description
ABchimie DVA XY is a specialized solvent blend developed for use with acrylic‑based conformal coatings, with optimal compatibility for AVR80 XY. It is designed to adjust the viscosity of acrylic coatings for efficient and controlled application.
Primarily used as a thinner, DVA XY ensures smooth, even coating deposition when applied through dip coating, spray application, or selective coating equipment. Its formulation maintains coating performance while enabling the correct film build and flow characteristics required for consistent results.
Product Key Features
- Designed for all acrylic conformal coatings
- Optimized for AVR80 XY compatibility
- Ensures proper viscosity for dip, spray, and automated coating processes
Applications
- Acrylic conformal coating processes requiring controlled flow characteristics

Instructions for Use
Spray Coating
When solvent based coatings are sprayed, the higher pressure at the nozzle forces the solvent within the coating to evaporate very quickly. Therefore, to avoid cob-webbing ( i.e. the coating drying immediately as it leaves the spray gun), extra solvent must be added. DVA XY should be used at levels of between 1:1 and 1:3 (Coating:Thinners) depending upon the application.
To avoid microbubbles in the coating, stand 2 minutes before attempting to spray. Thinners should be added gradually until a spray pattern is achieved without "cob-webbing" and the coating weight required is reached.
Dip Coating
DVA XY may be used to maintain the viscosity of acrylic conformal coatings in open tanks used in dip coating processes. Over time the solvent within the coatings evaporates, increasing the viscosity of the coating, and giving a thicker coating. This solvent loss must be replaced to maintain the correct viscosity to give an economical coating thickness.
In most systems it is sufficient to measure the viscosity of the coating once per week. DVA XY is a flammable solvent blend and should be used in a well ventilated area and all sources of ignition must be avoided.
