The adhesive type is the problem generally - latex adhesives used are not compatible with the silicone. Humiseal offer silicone compatible tapes & dots although they are quite expensive. I found a 3M product which is compatible with silicone based co

I am using masking tape, the 3M high temp blue masking tape. the problem though doesnt seem to be related to the masking tap as i am seeing pin holes and eventual dewets over entire ckt board (its almost as if the board has chickenpox under black lig

Are you using masking? Conformal coat will de-wet (no pin holes usually, though) due to masking tape adjacent to affected areas if the tape glue chemistry isn't compatible with the conformal coat.

We've used masking tape and peelable (pink) mask to mask our boards before conformal coating for a long, long time. This is a huge time sink, and increases our lead times (particularly because of the cure time for the pink mask). What are other com

I've been tasked with increasing the CCA throughput in our Conformal Coating workcenter. My first approach will be to look into a more *automated* approach for the masking process. We currently use a manual method of using masking tape prior to con

Can anyone give me suggestions on tape used for masking. Of course, I am looking for the "perfect tape" that sticks well, is flexible, offers lubricity for rubbing the tape, does not leave adhesive, easily removed for demasking, and won't leacvh any

Guys Does anyone have any bright ideas with regards to masking a PLCC socket with via holes directly below the socket, prior to conformal coating ? We've tryed kapton tape and peelable masks but not with desirable results. Our coating process is a t

In the past, I've used kapton tape for masking, as well as masking tape and solder mask as you've described. I've also used dummy connectors, or connector caps to cover connectors/pins. In the end, though, I'm not sure any of these methods decrea
