ABCHIMIE 746E UV

Protects printed circuit boards in extreme conditions

  • Conformal coating cured by UV Mercury lamp
  • Selective spray, spray gun & brush process
  • Fast curing & no VOC
ABCHIMIE 746E UV

A transparent single component designed to protect printed circuit boards subjected to harsh environments. It has dual cure technology (UV – humidity) for crosslinking in the shadows. It can be applied by brush, pad printing, spray machine and of course selective coating machine which is the ideal way to apply. The low viscosity permits to limit the thickness around 80 microns.

ABCHIMIE 746E UV is compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations.

ABCHIMIE 746E UV Approved UL94 V0 (QMJU2-E308681) /  Approved UL746E.

PROCESS RECOMMENDATION

APPLICATION

ABCHIMIE 746E UV can be applied by brush, spray or selective coating machine:

  • Spraying (two crossed layers) 60-80 microns
  • Brushing 40-60 microns
  • Selective coating machine 80-120 microns (380mm/s)

The relative humidity of at least 50% is recommended for the second polymerization mechanism.

Before applying the printed circuit board must be clean, dry and free of moisture. Pcbs are humidity sensitive, it is important to remove it before coating application. A stage in an oven for 4 hours at 80°C is usually sufficient.

When cleaning before coating is required, Inventec is the prefect partner to find the right solution.

CURING

It is important to use the appropriate UV equipment, as well as the recommended settings for the best results

  • UV Mercury lamp  (200-400nm)

Minimum UVA dose : 700mJ/cm2 (100μm)
