Urethane 2A64

HumiSeal® 2A64 conformal coating is:

  • Urethane chemistry
  • chemically resistant
  • two component
  • used in combination with Thinner 64

HumiSeal 2A64 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 2015/863/EU

Application of 2A64 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.

Mixing ratio of Part A to Part B is 1:1 by volume. Prior to application, HumiSeal® 2A64 Parts A and B should be thoroughly mixed until a homogenous blend is achieved. Vigorous mixing is not recommended. The mixed coating should be allowed to settle for 30 minutes prior to use so that any air bubbles formed during blending can escape.

Dipping
Depending on the complexity, density and configuration of components on the assembly, it may be necessary to reduce the viscosity of prepared HumiSeal® 2A64 with HumiSeal® Thinner 64 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 64. Viscosity in the dip tank should be checked regularly, using a simple measuring device such as a Zahn or Ford viscosity cup.

Spraying
HumiSeal® 2A64 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 64 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. The recommended ratio of prepared HumiSeal® 2A64 to HumiSeal® Thinner 64 is 1:1 by volume; however, the ratio may need to be adjusted to obtain a uniform coating.

Brushing
HumiSeal® 2A64 may be applied by brush. Uniformity of the film depends on component density and the operator’s technique.
