Humiseal says, "UV cure – These materials are also more difficult to repair as they are the most chemically resistant and mechanically tough of all conformal coatings. Removal is possible locally by using powder abrasion."

Thanks for the info Sarason. The UVCL is a Urethane. Did not want that hard of finish (for solder rework issues). We like the Acrylic as acetone will remove cured material for solder rework.

Hi sforman1, The chemical that i'm using is a solvent based coating humiseal 1B73. From my understanding,the UV curing is mainly for UV curable coating like the UV40. And the main advantage of using UV curing is for fast throughput and environment

Does anyone have design knowledge of why some manufacturers remove solder resist from the area around pads on fine pitch devices? What purpose does it serve? I only know that it would be better for AOI as you would not have light being reflected fro

Electrochemical migration under conformal coating: That's possible. Very few conformal coatings are water resistant. So, if you have ionic material on your board, standback. Uncured material under several IC: Materials like yours need moisture fro

We: * Cure 1B73 according to spec in a heat box, like a Blue-M * Clean nozzles [one set in use, one set being cleaned] in thinner in a bronson ultrasonic cleaner * Haven't evaluated coatings in years, but would do it according to J-STD-001C, Reqmnts

Hi Davef, Thanks...Saw 1 of your thread that you posted : Thanks for providing... From davef : There are many possibilities: * Conformal coat is incompatible with surface residue on the board * Conformal coat is incompatible with solder mask on the

Why in heavens name are you using a heat or air cure conformal coating. Why aren't you using a 100% solids UV cure system. You would never have an issue like this Sam Forman MicroCoat Technologies

Hi Davef, The bubbles occurs at the body also...there's also a washing process before the conformal coating:-the Flux residue are removed after washing. ... The curing profile is also something that we are looking into during the initial troubles

Since the bubbles: * Are only on the solder connection, we'd guess there must be some compatibility issue between the flux residues and the conformal coat materials. * Occur after curing, we'd guess the cure recipe is too rapid and is entrapping voli
