Rain X goes on windshields. Nano coating goes in the garbage. Order your stencils correctly from a reputable stencil house and fugetaboutit.

Nowadays I cut everything with nano-coat. it does improve release and adds 25% to the stencil price. Adds a little more time to cure the coat.

I was at an SMTA meeting Friday. One of the topics of discussion was nano coatings. 1. Nobody wants to talk about where the coating goes as it wears off. 2. There are different types of nano coatings : Chemically bonded which involves a special bon

Squeegee Material will effect stencil life too. Stainless Steel Blades are tough on the Stainless Steel Stencils. Look into Permalex (they are a type of metal with a special coating) blades. Good Luck

Hege, the Nano coating goes on the opposite of the squeegee side of the stencil. I don't know if the cleaning paper is able to remove it little by little with the time, but I never refreshed my stencils with Nano coating and they work just fine. How

But where does it go, that it needs to be refreshed or replenished on the stencil? Does that "just like wax" product wind up in my solder joints, no matter how small the percentage, and would it then qualify as a contaminant? I heard there are some (

Oded: The coatings that I mention serve different purposes. * Antiadhesions seem to be designed to improve paste release from the stencil * Flux repellents seem to be aimed at reducing the under wipe frequency of stencils. At IPC APEX 2013, DEK and
