TG Shield

TG Shield is suitable for protecting electrically sensitive contacts or components from electrically conductive thermal interface materials such as liquid metal. With non-conductive paste, the coating is normally not needed for short-circuit protection. Use the integrated brush to apply a thin, continuous coat of TG Shield to the SMD components that need protection around the planned liquid metal contact area. The surface must be clean and dry. Keep the actual heat transfer surface, socket contacts and connectors clear. Allow the coating to dry completely before applying liquid metal, and check it for gaps.
Once fully dry, TG Shield forms an electrically insulating protective layer. Liquid metal such as Conductonaut remains electrically conductive itself. Therefore, vulnerable components must be protected without gaps and the heat transfer surfaces must be kept clean. The coating is not a substitute for correct dosing and does not constitute blanket approval for high-voltage applications. TG Shield itself is not electrically conductive when dry.
TG Shield requires approximately 30 minutes of drying time at 20 °C. Thicker layers and unfavorable ambient conditions can extend drying time. Therefore, apply liquid metal only once the layer has dried completely. For removal, use only agents suitable for both the coating and the underlying material. Acetone can dissolve the coating, but it can also attack plastics, markings and adhesives. Therefore, work carefully and do not immerse the entire circuit board. TG Remove can remove TG Shield.
Instructions, technical data sheets, drawings and available safety or conformity documents for TG Shield can be found in the downloads section of the product page. Check that the item number and revision match. A technical data sheet does not replace a safety data sheet. If a file or language version is missing, send us the exact product name and specify the document you need. Public CAD files, additional certificates or formulation details are not available for every product.
TG Shield is supplied in a 5 ml bottle with an integrated application brush. Close it carefully after use. If the bottle is damaged, has leaked or is missing the specified brush, send us proof of purchase and photos of the packaging and contents. For missing parts or accessories needed separately, send us the exact item number, proof of purchase and a photo with the relevant part marked. We will check whether a suitable part is available and what costs or shipping conditions apply. Do not use unverified replacement parts with different dimensions.
Close TG Shield immediately after use and store it in its original packaging according to the label and safety data sheet. Avoid heat, direct sunlight and contamination inside the container. A coating that has thickened significantly or become contaminated should not be thinned with arbitrarily chosen solvents. Unopened TG Shield has a shelf life of 5 years. Once opened, it should be used within 1 year.
