We get a lot of requests from customers looking to keep their conformal coating an in-house process.  A lot goes into the conformal coating process, so it may be easy to overlook allThe coating room area should be clean and dust free since printed circuit boards are especially susceptible to particles sticking to the drying […]

Different ways to deal with solvents in conformal coatings

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, May 29, 2012

Option 1: Regularly measure the solvent exposure to operators. Solvents can be used safely.  However, the exposure of the operator to the solvent fumes must be REGULARLY measured and RECORDED. This ensures a safe operating environment and if an OSHA problem does arise in the future, evidence exists to rule out the conformal coating process […]
