Eric: I�ll pass on the uV and ammonia, also. Thoughts are: 1 You�re correct that the temperature/humidity mix can be a big driver to latex peelable solder mask cure time, but don�t overlook material thickness. Dispensers put material in a very th

The only thing ammonia can do is tarnish copper and make it more difficult to solder. And the higher temp in lead-free will discolor the latex (giving it a sticky surface), but the functionality of the mask will be intact. There should be greater co

You can use a peelable, rather than a water washable, temporary solder mask? Points are: * Vinyl peelable is preferred over latex, because of lower residues. You should be very concerned about this since you are probably running a low residue proce

If you are not washing and want to stay with a peelable mask the two basic types are vinyl and latex. Although we've seen some silicone and urethanes, they cost more. * Do not use latex peelable solder mask with a low residue soldeing process withou

Hello everyone, Has anyone had success dispensing ammoniated latex masking using a valve? If so, what company and type of valve are you using? Our current supplier of non-ammoniated latex masking will no longer provide a container larger than an 8 o

Some peelable solder masks attack immersion finishes. It appears components in the peelable soldermask, such as ammonia, are not very friendly to these particular surface finish. [We've wanted to investigate the effect of mask application thickness

How thick are their requirements? A barrier can be made using peelable latex. That would then require manual or automatic dispense of latex to create a dam. Then you should be able to use an automated dispense system with a large orifice and flood

I would suggest trying an acrylic peelable mask. In most cases peelable temporary masks are latex materials. Since you use an acrylic conformal coating it makes sense to use a mask with the same make up to avoid incompatabilities. Link to acrylic mas
