HumiSeal® 2A64 is a two component polyurethane conformal coating supplied as Parts A and B, suitable for general printed circuit board applications. HumiSeal® 2A64 is characterized by high solids and low viscosity for ease of application and processing, and it fluoresces under UV light for inspection purposes. HumiSeal® 2A64 coating is MIL-I-46058C qualified, and IPC-CC-830 and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant.
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.
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.
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.
HumiSeal® 2A64 can be sprayed using conventional spraying equipment. Spraying should be done in an environment with adequate ventilation so that the vapour 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.
HumiSeal® 2A64 may be applied by brush. Uniformity of the film depends on component density and operator's technique.
