Please send this back to the person concerned about SR coat contaminating
nearby soldering processes:
We've been spraying SR coating in a Nordson Select Coat machine for a couple
of years, and while we don't exhibit silicone buildup on nearby work
surfaces, we do have slick floors in the area around the machine, probably
due to walkoff from the machine operators. Our machine's exhaust is routed
through a charcoal filter and vented at ceiling height above the machine, so
it's possible we lose some silicone through the filters into the surrounding
area, but not much.

I sent this up to the server last week, but can't find that I ever got a
>>>"come-back" copy, so here goes again.

>>>Following is posted for one of our clients:
>>>
>>>"I have a vendor that has installed a closed system conformal coat spray
>>>machine in the middle of an area where surface mount and through hole
>>>processing occurs. The coating being used is silicone based. I'm
>>>concerned about silicone contamination of other materials in the work area,
>>>due to unintentional migration (overspray in the atmosphere, fumes/gasses
>>>from curing process, etc.) over time, that could affect the soldering
>>>processes. Are there any specifications or guidelines for SR coating
>>>controls in a printed circuit board assembly house? Is this a valid
>>>concern? Does anyone have a good or bad history of a similar situation?"
>>>
>>>Thanks for inputs anyone has. Jack
