I've recently been placed in control of operations of our SCS conformal coat sprayer and I must eliminate problems with wicking of humiseal 1b73 into surface mount connectors while also trying to minimize masking as much as possible. We use a 55:45

Here is a posting by P Kinner at Humiseal ... Typically, there are three main approaches to avoid coating wicking into press-fit connectors (and other keep out areas). Wicking is a phenomenon caused by a combination of low viscosity of conformal coa

Hello, Curious to know if anyone has had some experience converting a Heller reflow oven to Cure 1B73 Coating material. Please share experience and process parameters to help obtain cure to conformal coated boards. TIA!!!

I looked at the tech data for the coating. It appears to need an explosion proof oven for curing (flammable vapors from solvent). I doubt the Heller reflow is explosion proof type oven.

Have you always used xylene? For our 1B73 we use nothing but 73 thinner from Humiseal or PGMEA at about 50/50 depending on the humidity.

Update on 1B73 bubbles, Changed over to a mixture of Humiseal 73 thinner with coating (25 sec on Zahn 2) observed a reduction in bubble formation (approx. 20%) but still present.

Humiseal 1B73 Acrylic, thanks for the suggestion.

I have found that depressurizing the tanks when the machine is not in use reduces bubbles.

We're using the 1B73LOC conformal coating from Humiseal. We've seen some bubbling of the coating. Their tech handbook suggested reducing our oven ramp speed. Does anyone have a good profile for this? They've always pointed me to Nordson, and Nord
