You would be better to go with a conventional coating. UV is not ideal for
3D objects - works great in 2D, cos you don't have to bend light! :-)

I cannot remember what the operating environment was for your circuit - if
you would care to repeat, I can recommend something - however, I am sure
that a one part AR or UR coating from a reliable supplier will give you the
best overall results - process and operating environment.

Subject: [TN] 2 Conformal Coating ?'s


Hello,
Thanks in advance if you have taken the time to read this!

#1- Im trying different materials in a spray application. Both are cured
using UV. One material does a "secondary cure" w/ moisture. This is cool
because after 100 hours after UV cure, all material is fully cured.
The other material Im trying uses HEAT for a secondary cure, or, if
shodowed during UV cure, the material wont cure and never will. Obviously I
dont want the stuff dripping or running anywhere, but being new to this
wonderful process, just dont feel good about leaving uncured material on a
product for it's entire life. Iv been told that you can "test" the product
to see if the uncured material is causing a problem but Im not sure what
type of test that would consist of. Any insight?

#2- Has anyone out there ever installed refelctive metal plates in their UV
oven to limit shadowing?

Thanks so much,

Mike Manwell
