ACL Staticide® introduces the 8696 Urethane Conformal Coating to its existing selection of rework and repair aerosols. This transparent coating provides insulative hard-shell protection for printed circuit boards against chemicals. The urethane-based resin protects against acidic and alkaline substances making it an ideal choice for many general applications such as HVAC, fire alarms, relays, generators, motors, transformers and battery-operated devices.

Guess the better question is why are the resistors and FETs heating to the degree that they discolored the coating? If the coating is discolored, I'd be concerned with the possibility of cracking as dave mentioned. Cracks defeat the purpose of the

Greetings...I have a customer that has an assembly that is conformal coated with Humiseal 1A33. This assembly has some components (resistors and FET's) that heated up during operation and has discolored the conformal coating around their location.

Rich That is a standard reaction with Humiseal 1A33, nothing to worry about. Find a board that was coated over year ago and had been heated up at all and it will be an amber color. It does not violate the IPC for discoloration. We have coated boards

Rich Here's what Humiseal says: Thermal Properties The coating must be able to withstand localized thermal 'hot spots' generated by components. High temperatures can cause short-term changes in coating characteristics, such as softening and lowered e

10.4. Pre-Cure Examination. Immediately after material application, the uncured conformal coating shall be examined for: a. Bubbles and Air Entrapments. These defects shall be broken by vacuum, with a sharp probe, or other appropriate tools. b. Bridg

Hi Dave, I haven't tried the Probimer yet, but the Taiyo ink didn't hold up too well. As a PCB fabricator, finding a white soldermask that has good trace coverage and survives 4X solder immersion (HASL) is like the holy grail of white soldermask.

Here are some options for removing OSP coatings from pads of the BGA substrates. * Leave the substrates in storage for 13-14 months. Shelf life of OSP coating is ~12 months, depending on the product. * Wash the substrates in your aqueous washer. Ea

If you are saying that you have discolored white tin at in-bound inspection, you have bad boards. The boards are fabricated incorrectly. Your fabricator is deficient. That is the GREAT thing about imm coatings. You can look at them and determine
