Urethane 1A34

HumiSeal® 1A34 conformal coating is:

  • Urethane chemistry
  • chemically resistant
  • single component
  • used in combination with Thinner 521/521 EU
  • RoHS directive 2015/863/EU

HumiSeal 1A34 conformal coating has:

  • excellent moisture and environmental protection for printed circuit assemblies
  • fluorescence under UV light for ease of inspection
  • MIL-I-46058C qualified
  • IPC-CC-830 compliant
  • RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliance

Application of 1A34 Conformal Coating

Conformal coatings can be successfully applied to substrates that have been cleaned prior to coating and also to substrates assembled with low residue “no clean” materials.  Users should perform adequate testing to confirm compatibility between the conformal coating and their particular assembly materials, process conditions and cleanliness level.  Please contact HumiSeal® for additional information

 Dipping
Depending on the complexity, density and configuration of components on the assembly, it may be necessary to reduce the viscosity of HumiSeal® 1A34 with HumiSeal® Thinner 521 or 521EU 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 521 or 521EU. Viscosity in the dip tank should be checked regularly using a simple measuring device such as a Zahn or Ford viscosity cup.

 Spraying
HumiSeal® 1A34 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 521 or 521EU is necessary to ensure a uniform spray pattern resulting in a pinhole-free film. The amount of thinner and spray pressure will depend on the specific type of spray equipment used and operator technique. The recommended ratio of HumiSeal® 1A34 to HumiSeal® Thinner 521 or 521EU is 1:1 by volume; however, the ratio may need to be adjusted to obtain a uniform coating.

 Brushing
HumiSeal® 1A34 may be brushed with a small addition of HumiSeal® Thinner 521 or 521EU. Uniformity of the film depends on component density and the operator’s technique.
