Polyurethanes and acrylics are both used a lot. Acrylics have the performance most people need and can be removed for mod or rework simply with localized application of a solvent. This is both an advantage and disadvantage in that it indicates a low resistance to solvents. Urethanes are tough with good performance , however, once cured, they can only be removed by burning or abrasion (scraping) for rework. We use both and have applied them with selective coating equipment and by hand (spray and brush). Drying can be in ambient air, conveyor oven or bake oven. Solvent systems are the most forgiving (I think) but have VOCs. Waterborne also can work well but need a slower drying. Urethane and acrylics are both available in 100% solids, UV cured versions.

I bought a Nordson, just because I was used to the operating system. Both systems have their advantages.

I'm aware of several systems, seen a few, and narrowed it down to Asymtek/Nordson or PVA. We'll be dispensing HumiSeal Acrylic Materials. Would appreciate any feedback from the masses.
