Additional Information
ABchimie DVS: Precision Thinning and Viscosity Control
ABChimie DVS ensures consistent, high-quality application of silicone conformal coatings by stabilizing viscosity and improving flow in both spray and dip systems. Its reliability and compliance make it an essential solvent for electronics coating processes across manufacturing environments.
Application Methods
1. Spray Coating
DVS helps achieve proper atomization and smooth coating films in spray systems.
- Mix DVS with the silicone coating to achieve desired viscosity.
- Wait 2 minutes after mixing to allow the solvent to equilibrate.
- DVS compensates for solvent evaporation caused by nozzle pressure.
2. Dip Coating
Essential for open-tank processes where solvent loss increases viscosity.
- Add DVS periodically to maintain controlled, economical coating thickness.
- Increased viscosity results in unnecessarily thick coatings.
- Measuring viscosity once per week is sufficient for most systems.
Application Compatibility
✔ All ABChimie silicone coatings (SVR99, SVP52)
✔ Most silicone-based chemistries
✔ Stainless steel and chemical-resistant tanks

Frequently Asked Questions About ABchimie DVS
What is ABChimie DVS used for?
DVS is used to thin silicone conformal coatings and maintain proper viscosity during spray and dip application. It is essential for SVR99, SVP52, and similar silicone coatings.
Can I use DVS with non-silicone coatings?
No. DVS is formulated specifically for silicone coatings. For acrylic, urethane, or epoxy systems, use the corresponding thinner recommended by the manufacturer.
Why wait 2 minutes after mixing before spraying?
Waiting allows the solvent to fully integrate with the coating, ensuring proper spray atomization and preventing inconsistent film formation.
Is ABChimie DVS RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. DVS complies with both RoHS and REACH regulations. Certificates are available upon request.
How often should DVS be added to tanks?
In most environments, checking viscosity once per week is sufficient. If viscosity increases due to evaporation, add DVS to restore flow.
Is DVS flammable?
Yes. DVS is a flammable solvent blend and must be used only in well-ventilated areas away from heat sources.
