If problems in a conformal coating defy reliable repair, coating removal may be the only solution. Removing conformal coating from PCBs requires matching removal methodology with coating type and the component’s function. A variety of factors – bubbles/voids, coating thickness, component failure, inadequate masking, poor adhesion, surface finish, among many others – can necessitate coati

It is possible to remove unwanted conformal coatings from PCBs in-shop. The process can often be accomplished by either the assembly’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an end-user, but the capacity to do so doesn’t always exist. For these parties, conditions affecting the poor coating may:
