Not sure exactly what kind of coverage your looking to get but we use Dow Corning 3-1944, it's room-temp cure and rather thick, (think warm honey). But we have found it useful on several projects. http://www.dowcorning.com/applications/search/produc

Mike, we use a product called Dow Corning 321 dryfilm lubricant. BTU reccomends it. You can find it in Mcmaster Carr for about 21.00 a can. Mcmaster PN is 1255K14. I reccomend pulling the chain off when you are lubricating it to avoid over-spray. Th

If you apply the RTV after coating, what happens to bond strength since you are now bonding to the coating and not the board? Will the caps still survive vibration and shock? I specify applying RTV before coating for this reason. Am I correct? I als

IMHO I would avoid sprayed silicones like the plague. They can travel around your facility and cause solder wetting issues that you will never know the root cause for. Also found this e-drive article on using silicones around motors and relays. Loo

Kic Thermal used Pyropel. Cut with a razor blade and glue together with a good Dow Corning high temperature silicone. You can buy Pyropel in various thicknesses. It is not cheap. $100.00 for a 24" X 24" X 3/16" sheet. You can buy at McMaster Car

Having solder flow issues on gold pads. Issues started when supplier switched adhesive tape used to cover pads during varnish process. By running SEM/EDX and XPS analysis it has been determined that the new tape leaves behind a thicker organic residu

Looking into possibly receiving samples of polyester masking dots for conformal coating. Our usage of polymide dots have really increased in the past months and we're always looking for a reduction in costs. The only information I've found is that po

We are in the process of revamping our conformal coating room. Presently, we have a C-740 Nordson Asymtek coating machine that sprays most of our boards with Dow Corning 2577. We are spending a lot of time masking boards and are thinking of upgrading
