Cory, I've got a lot of experience of testing of this type. The physical (not chemical) nature of the flux residues is the crucial issue in compatibility. If you have a softer residue (either caused by a thick initial solder paste deposit, or a low p

The coating thickness is more a property of the individual coating itself. The 0.03 - 0.13 is based on average properties of acrylics in general. It's like trying to pour 3 mils of motor oil on a table. The material will find it's own thickness.

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

Hello Sirs: Recently we are having an issue with environmental stress (high humidity or moisture), so we decide to apply conformal coating on our motherboard to protect via holes. According to IPC-A-610D, spec of thickness for type AR is 0.03~0.13 m

dave, where I work they are having the same problems with 1B31 acrylic. The coating thickness is 6-8 mils dried so that have to do several passes with an air dry between them and a final oven cure. They think that it might be related to the heating r

@tommyg_fla According to the TDS the recommended coating thickness for Humiseal 1B31 is only 1-3 mils so if I had to guess I would say your issue might be that you're re-coating over the first pass too soon. All the solvent hasn't evaporated and the

As a large coating house we use 1B73 daily and we have very few issues with bubbles. We very rarely bake it as the air cure is so short. Also, we only use thinner 73 vice 521. Another question would be; how is it being applied? How thick are you appl

Hi Lou, we are using a fluid dispensing machine. our current requirement is around 50um. From the Datasheet,the thinner 73 has a higher evaporation rate of 1.0 comapring with thinner 521 at 0.6... does the higher evaporation rate eliminate the bu

A couple of things to try as I just went through this myself. Checkout this link for pointers on plasma cleaning... http://www.nordson.com/~/media/Files/Nordson/march/Papers/The-Effects-of-Plasma-Treatment-Prior-to-Conformal-Coating-NordsonMARCH.p
