We allow no silicone in our shop, because they ruin solderability.

Especially VCM - volatile condensable materials. Strictly verboten around optics.

Amol, good call there. Silicone mask and silicone coatings are friendly with each other. This was 1995, and at the time, there were no silicone boots available on the market.

I need to cure conformal coat on a 19" x 15" board. The material needs 7 - 10 minutes at 100deg C, but I have limited floorspace so I'm looking for an oven with about 36 inches heated length and 18 or more inch wide belt. The material we are consider

I'm not that concerned about the solderability of the motor. Our customer is concerned about the outgassing of the conformal coat effecting the motor brushes. Silicone will break down into SiO2 and SiC will result from a spark between the brushes a

We use nothing but silicones and have for at least the last 7 years. We don't have relays, but we do have motors. No issues with soldering, but our lines are constructed such that the last solder operation is a good distance from the coating or pot

I'd also say to be very careful about contamination espacialy with boots. Some companies use oily products on there boots so be careful.

Hose and/or Dave, Please elaborate of how the silicone can affect soldering. Material itself or fumes?

NASA is concerned about outgassing in high-vacuum environments. They select materials to minimize outgassing. http://outgassing.nasa.gov/og_desc.html
