We had blacklight bulbs in the spray room and under the booth/hood to aid the sprayer with coverage checking. The intensity wasn't high enough to cure overspray very quickly, but would cure it over several hours. If you make pallets that fit in you UV oven then you could cure both at the same time and not have to handle a wet board directly. You can cover a reusable pallet with paper or even have them cut out of corrugated cardboard if you want to throw them away.

I bought some standard sized bulbs to fit a shop fluorescent light fixture a while back. They used to be readily available at your neighborhood big box home improvement store. You could hang it in a vented fume hood in an isolated area to cure and vent any fumes. Or you could get your hands on a tanning bed and provide tanning as an employee perk when you're not curing your coating waste! Eric Kalgren Electrical Engineer The Ferrite Co.

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. Thanks, Amol --------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a service by IPC using LISTSERV 15.0 To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/archives Please visit IPC web site http://www.ipc.org/contentpage.asp?Pageid=4.3.16 for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-615-7100 ext.2815 ----------------------------------------------------- WARNING: Export Control This document may contain technical data within the definition of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and subject to the Export Control Laws of the U.S. Government.
