All,
       We are currently using a Dow Corning 3-1765 silicone coating in a 
     PVA machine.  The problem lies in a execrated cure time for this 
     material.  I am seeking information on a profile that will work with 
     the curing process.  I have been told that without adding humidity to 
     the process you can't go over 65ºC or you boil out the moisture it 
     needs to fully cure.  However, I was also told that 150ºC for ten 
     minutes w/out humidity is the proper cure.  I have a Vitronics IR 
     reflow oven that I've been trying to get to cure this coating.  I know 
     its not the best situation, but it was meant to be crutch until we 
     could obtain new equipment.  This new equipment, a dip tank is 
     intended to run Dow Corning 2577 and I also need cure profiles for it. 
     If anyone has cure information on either the 3-1765 or the 2577 I 
     would greatly appreciate it.
     
     Thanks
     Chris Smith   M.E.
