The three primary causes for bubble generation in solvent-based coatings are: * Air entrapment * Solvent flash-off * Curing the coating too quickly Tell us more about your process including: * When you first notice the bubbles * Extent of the probl

Back in the mists of time there were two papers on the use of Parylene Coating and the improved thermal cycling results in 1990. It was on LCCC then shortly after on BGA. Does anyone know of results of recent trials or have a copy of the BGA papers.

I agree that solderability is THE issue, but we choose not to get into that pissin' contest. [We don't like the selected test method, either.] We believe that our coating thickness spec provides: * Solderability level that we seek. * Repeatable tes

We have not had the best of luck with wet film. I agree on your statement. Depending on the mix and amount of solvent your results will vary. We were looking for something easy, accurate and foolproof.

We just measure the coupon before and after. We are always btw .002" - .003" acrylic. No auditor will say a word if you are doing this much control. Unless its NASA I suppose..... we've never had a problem with any of the avionics guys doing this tho

Hello, do you perform any stencil maintenance? What type of controls do you use? Also interested if you have a way to measure nano coating thickness? Any ideas will be appreciated.

we have a Specialty coating system (SCS) precisoncoat spray coating system. we are using an acrylic coating material with about 80cp viscosity. The spraying pressure is around 4-6 psi. The main issue is the finish looking of the board. If we apply hi
