Hi Amol, We don't use UV coating so it's not an issue but I was wondering if you could put the paper out in the sun for a little bit. Of course here in Western Washington that would be a problem since we never get any sun ;-) KennyB -----Original Message----- From: Kane, Amol (349) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 6:17 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Conformal Coating Waste Dear Technetters, We regularly use absorbent paper to rest the boards in the conformal coating booth as we spray them (UV cure coatings). A question came up recently about the paper being hazardous waste due to uncured coating on it. I want to know if: 1. Anybody else is using a similar method to coat the boards and how is disposal being handled 2. Is there an alternative to using paper in the coating booth. The disposal issue will still remain I do not want to put the paper in the UV oven for curing. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
