Also coating costs depends on solids content vs final dry film thickness. Some newer UV coatings are 100% solids, so what you put down you get on the PCB after cure, use no solvents at all. So a cost to look at are qty of PCB per litre of material. T

Yeh due to the solvents in the coatings im guessing there is a health and safety risk. Solvent stripping is a lengthy process for the coatings we use and usually means submerging the whole board so not local to the rework. We have a booth with ioni

Graham Naisbitt is definitely an expert on conformal coating, he has posted answers here for years. Check your material to see what the cure mechanism is. Most urethanes need moisture from the air to cure, the higher the relative humidity the faste

Interesting, never heard of using wax as a coating mask. Not sure how well the AR coating would hold up to a hot alkaline wash (unless you have experience with it), but that stuff usually starts to flake off/de-wet if you just look at it wrong. I'm

Hi all, just wondering what type of brushes you all are using to manually touch up/apply your conformal coatings? We use an solvent based acrylic and do minor touch ups as they are processed. Occasionally we will have a bristle or two come off the

If the white residue is from a no-clean flux or no- clean solder flux core you can leave it on the board. (Consult with the flux or cored solder manufacturer) Because after being encapsulated with conformal coating the residue is sealed from humidity

BE, Flux coating helps as there is no solvent to volatize. Also, we offer vacuum-cast preforms that will eliminate the possibility of the voids comimg from the alloy itself. I can email a PDF of some profiles, all I need your email address. You c

It's possible that your lead-free solder will stick to mounting bolts more than SnPb solder. Lead-free solder has a high tin content. Tin is a very good solvent. You may need to coat the bolts with a solder mask to prevent the solder from sticking.
