Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a dielectric
coating material named "KYNAR" from Atochem.  I have tried numerous times
to contact Atochem about purchasing this item but so far all my efforts
have been in vain.  So I was just hoping that some of you could kindly
provide me with a little bit more information about its application and
how I might me able to purchase some. Just
to let you know what we have been working on, we are actuating deionized
water finger using high frequency DEP in a transport based microfluidics
scheme.  In order to avoid boiling and electrolysis as well as to promote
hydrophobicity of the surface, we apply a thin coating of dielectric
material(s) with high dielectric constant.  This is very critical when we
are experimenting with conductive liquids, hence my efforts involve
exploring the option of using KYNAR.  This material is supposed to have a
dielectric constant of 8-9!  Any help toward getting some info on this
would be much appreciated.
