Mr. Ross,
I don't have any data on the surface tension requirements for optimal
comformal coating compatibility. For this, I would suggest that you
contact Conap, Humiseal, Dow Corning or another conformal coating
manufacturer.
We have found that the method of application has a big impact on the
compatibility of the conformal coating and the solder mask. A coating
that properly wets a surface when it is applied by dipping may exhibit
dewetting when it is thinned and sprayed. The altered surface tension
of the solvent/coating mix is probably a key factor.
In addition, the mask cure conditions, the soldering conditions, the flux
(and its residues) and the post clean process may affect the conformal
coating compatibility.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Regards,
