 Hóla hombres,
I've went through a 144 page report on US army vehicles in the sandy and dusty Iraq. Finest particles cross any filters and land on the PWBs. Weight% of Fluorides, Chlorides, Nitrates, Bromides, Nitrates and Sulfates vary a lot, depending  on if you are in Basra,  Kirkuk or other spots. So, we read typical Chloride from 1ppm to 35,000 ppm. The red dust+humidiy makes a vehicle of any sort a wreck on less than a few years. Now, anyone dust professor at TN? What will aggressive dust do to Acrylic coating and what level of Fluorides, Chlorides etc is dangerous? 1,000 ppm? 10,000 ppm? or what?  The fat report is good at describing the hard life for mil electronics, but not a word about what levels are doing harm. Anyone? Ugh?

If the rework is extensive, don't you just strip off the coating and put on new coating after the rework is done?

Subject: [TN] Conformal Coating Breakdown


Anyone have some information on what happens to conformal coatings as you heat them up, what temperature do they start to deteriorate? (Specifically acrylics and urethanes)

What I'm really getting at is that I have some boards that need hot air rework, but they have been coated. There are moisture sensitive components on the board, so I would like to bake the boards prior to rework. I would prefer to make the bake as short as possible, but that puts the temperature (125°C) at the top of the temperature range for these coating materials. (In fact, some boards that I have baked have gotten a brown tint to the coating).

Will I do any damage to the conformal coating by baking at this temperature? If not, what temperature would cause damage?

Thanks,
Ben Gumpert
