  • Compliant with GB30981-2020

Application of 1A27 LTX Conformal Coating

Cleanliness of the substrate is of extreme importance for the successful application of a conformal coating. Surfaces must be free of moisture, dirt, wax, grease, flux residues and all other contaminants. Contamination under the coating could cause problems that may lead to assembly failures.

Technical Support should be contacted if any further advice on Pre-blend Products and equipment is required.

Dipping

Depending on the complexity, density and configuration of components on the assembly, it may be necessary to reduce the viscosity of  HumiSeal® 1A27  LTX with  HumiSeal® Thinner  789  in order to obtain a  uniform film.  Once optimum viscosity is determined, a controlled rate of immersion and withdrawal (5-15 cm/min) will further ensure even deposition of the coating and ultimately a uniform film.  During the application, evaporation of solvent causes an increase in viscosity that should be adjusted by adding small amounts of HumiSeal® Thinner 789. Viscosity in the dip tank should be checked regularly, using a simple measuring device such as a Zahn or Ford viscosity cup.

Spraying

HumiSeal® 1A27 LTX can be sprayed using conventional spraying equipment.  Spraying should be done in an environment with adequate ventilation so that the vapor and mist are carried away from the operator.  The addition of HumiSeal® Thinner 789 is necessary to ensure a uniform spray pattern resulting in pinhole-free film.  The amount of thinner and spray pressure will depend on the specific type of spray equipment used and operator technique.

Brushing

HumiSeal® 1A27 may be applied by brush with a small addition of HumiSeal Thinner 789. The uniformity of the film depends on the component density and the operator’s technique.

Storage

HumiSeal® 1A27 LTX should be stored away from excessive heat or cold, in tightly closed containers. HumiSeal® products may be stored at temperatures of 0 to 35°C. Prior to use, allow the product to equilibrate for 24 hours at a room temperature of 18 to 32°C.

Caution

Application of HumiSeal® Conformal Coatings should be carried out in accordance with local and National Health and Safety regulations.

The solvents in HumiSeal® Conformal Coatings are flammable. The material should not be used in presence of open flame or sparks. Use only in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation of vapors or spray.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
