Ausbond® Plasticote 80 insulating spray for PCB boards
Brand: Ausbond
VAT included (Ex VAT: 11.36 €)
Ausbond® Plasticote 80 is an insulating spray specially designed for printed circuit boards (PCB). This transparent, single-component acrylic protective coating creates a flexible, durable film that effectively protects electronic components from a range of external agents.
This spray is ideal for preventing corrosion caused by weak acids, alkalis, alcohol, mould, salt spray, thermal stress, ultraviolet radiation, moisture and insects. It is also resistant to high temperatures and does not degrade with heat. The protective film allows solder to be applied directly onto it, making repair and maintenance processes easier.
Main features:
- Quick formation of a glazed, durable and non-conductive protective film.
- Excellent resistance to moisture, mould, salt spray, electrical insulation and resistance to electrical leakage.
- Provides long-term protection for household appliances, electronic equipment and parts, extending their service life.
- The film begins to soften from 100°C and becomes viscous below 120°C without degrading, allowing solder to be applied directly onto it.
Typical uses:
- Waterproof and moisture-resistant protection for PCB boards and electronic components.
- Insulation of electrical contacts between wires, joints, screws and switches to prevent electrical leakage.
- Protection against adverse agents such as chemicals, salt mist, dust, vibration and extreme temperature changes.
- Ideal for applications in electronic equipment exposed to harsh environments.
Compatibility and compliance:
Ausbond® Plasticote 80 complies with the ROHS Directive of the European Union, ensuring it is an environmentally friendly product free from hazardous substances. Its formula is compatible with most electronic components and materials used in PCB boards.
Specifications:
- Capacity: 400 ml
- Paint type: Transparent single-component acrylic
- Thermal resistance: Stable at temperatures above 100°C

Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does Ausbond® Plasticote 80 offer over conventional protective varnishes for PCBs?
Ausbond® Plasticote 80 forms a transparent, non-conductive film that allows soldering directly through the protection, unlike many varnishes that must be removed first. It also resists moisture, weak acids, UV rays and temperatures up to 120 °C without degrading, offering greater flexibility and durability. Its ROHS compliance is an advantage over protectors with restricted compounds.
What are the materials, contents and dimensions of the aerosol can?
The contents are a single-component acrylic polymer in spray form. The standard container usually holds 400 ml, although variants may exist; it typically measures around 20 cm high and 6 cm in diameter. The total weight of the aerosol can (including the container) is approximately 450 g. The box includes only the spray can, with no accessories.
Can the coating interfere with electrical conductivity, and how should it be applied to avoid issues?
Plasticote 80 is dielectric, so it electrically insulates. It should not be applied over connectors, terminals or areas that need to remain conductive. For best results, apply thin, even coats, allowing an initial drying time between coats. On test points or solder joints, the product can be removed mechanically if necessary.
What care or maintenance does the applied protection require, and how can it be removed if the PCB needs repairing?
The resulting layer requires no specific maintenance. If the board needs repairing, the coating can be removed with solvents such as acetone or by careful scraping without damaging components. Compatibility with plastics should be checked. Any residue should be disposed of in accordance with current environmental regulations.
What is Ausbond® Plasticote 80 insulating spray used for?
It is used to protect PCB boards and electronic components against moisture, corrosion, mould, salt spray, thermal stress and other adverse agents.
Can you solder over the protective film?
Yes, the protective film allows solder to be applied directly without degrading.
What is the container capacity?
The container has a capacity of 400 ml.
Is it resistant to high temperatures?
Yes, the film begins to soften from 100°C and becomes viscous below 120°C but does not degrade.
Does it comply with environmental regulations?
Yes, it complies with the ROHS Directive of the European Union, ensuring it is a product free from hazardous substances.
