Devcon Tru-Bond DC 200 Dual Cure Coating

Description

Tru-Bond DC 200 is a Devcon dual cure coating listed by Chemical Concepts for light or heat cure work. The product row describes use as an encapsulant that can cure tack-free with standard black light, offers minimal shrinkage for potting up to 3/4 inch, resists scratching, and supports substrates including ABS, FR-4, PMMA, polycarbonate, PETCO, aluminum, cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, crystal, glass, and ferrite. ITW Devcon describes the broader Tru-Bond Dual Cure series as UV or visible light and heat cure materials for protective coatings, potting, and tamper proofing.

Tru-Bond DC 200 Applications

• Protective coating work on decals, tags, emblems, and electronic parts.
• Potting and encapsulation where light cure, heat cure, or dual cure processing is specified.
• Shop trials on plastics, metals, glass, ferrite, and board materials listed in the product row.
• Coating work that needs a hard, scratch-resistant cured surface.
• Production review where low shrinkage and cure access both matter.

Use the current Devcon data sheet before releasing this coating into production. The exact cure method, lamp intensity, exposure time, heat schedule, coating thickness, and substrate condition all affect the final result. Test real parts before approving a customer-facing process.

Tru-Bond DC 200 Setup Notes

Clean and dry the substrate, then apply the coating at the thickness required by the process. Confirm whether the job will use black light, UV or visible light, heat, or a combined cure. Keep oxygen exposure, shadowed areas, and part geometry in mind when planning cure.

For trials, document the substrate, coating thickness, cure source, exposure time, and post-cure handling before scaling the process. Shadowed areas, deep potting sections, and filled parts can cure differently than flat samples. A short trial record gives engineering, purchasing, and production the evidence needed to repeat the setup.
