Introduction of pcba conformal coating
2023-07-28

PCBA conformal coating is also known as PCBA protective oil, PCBA waterproof glue, PCBA insulating paint, because of the
three functions of waterproof, moistureproof and dustproof on PCBA, it is called "pcba conformal coating".
What are the coating methods of PCBA conformal coating?
1.dipping: It is more economical for large equipment, but the thickness after coating will be affected by factors such as the
temperature, time, extraction speed, vertical flow time, and whether to add an air knife.
2.spraying: spraying is economical for small and medium-sized equipment. When spraying is used, just like painting, the uniformity
2.spraying: spraying is economical for small and medium-sized equipment. When spraying is used, just like painting, the uniformity
of the coating depends on the relative speed of movement, the spraying position, the spraying pressure, and whether there are higher
parts. In addition, the bottom of the part cannot be sprayed and may require additional processing.
3.brushing: It is economical for small devices. When coating, it is easy to cause uneven coating because of the skill proficiency of

coating, and pay attention to the problem of brushing off the hair. The bottom of the part is also more difficult to coat.

required part of the coating.
What tools do you need to apply PCBA conformal coating, paint box, rubber gloves, mask or gas mask, brush, paper, tweezers, ventilation
equipment, drying rack, oven.
What are the technical requirements for coating PCBA conformal coating?
1.Brush conformal coating protection must be tested, inspected and thoroughly cleaned before PCBA assembly.
2.The brush used should be kept clean and prohibited from being used for other operations; When painting the brush, be careful not to
drip into the parts that do not need painting; The brush should be cleaned with thinner after use.
3.The coating layer should be transparent, and evenly cover the PCB board and components, with uniform color and consistency.
4.Process steps: brushing side A → surface dry → brushing side B → room temperature curing

4.Process steps: brushing side A → surface dry → brushing side B → room temperature curing
5. Spraying thickness: 0.1mm-0.3mm
6. All coating operations shall be performed at a temperature of not less than 16 ° C and relative humidity less than 75%. PCB as a composite
material will absorb moisture, if not moisture, the conformal coating can not fully play a protective role, pre-drying, vacuum
drying can remove most of the moisture.
What are the process requirements for coating PCBA conformal coating?
1.Clean and bake the board to remove moisture and moisture. Before brushing, the dust, moisture and rosin on the surface of the PCBA
board must be cleaned to make the conformal coating stick well on the surface of the circuit board. Drying conditions :60°C, 30-40 minutes,
after taking out in the oven and applying while hot, the effect is better.
2.According to the size of the product and the layout of the panel components, correctly select the brush, pour the conformal coating into the
2.According to the size of the product and the layout of the panel components, correctly select the brush, pour the conformal coating into the
container, and then use the brush to stick the appropriate adhesive liquid to evenly brush the circuit board.
3.The brushing area should be larger than the area occupied by the device to ensure full coverage of the device and pad.
4.When brushing PCBA board as flat as possible, there should be no dettol after brushing, the brushing should be smooth, and there should

4.When brushing PCBA board as flat as possible, there should be no dettol after brushing, the brushing should be smooth, and there should
be no exposed part, and the thickness of the brushing is between 0.1-0.3mm.
5.After brushing, one side of the plug-in component is placed horizontally on the air drying rack for dry curing (the coating can be accelerated
5.After brushing, one side of the plug-in component is placed horizontally on the air drying rack for dry curing (the coating can be accelerated
by heating).
6.When applying tri-resistant paint to the PCB, all connected devices, sockets, switches, radiators (pieces), cooling areas, etc., are not allowed
6.When applying tri-resistant paint to the PCB, all connected devices, sockets, switches, radiators (pieces), cooling areas, etc., are not allowed
to brush tri-resistant paint, and need to use decorative paper to cover and protect when painting.
7. If a thicker coating is desired, it can be obtained by applying two thinner coats (it is required that the first coat must be completely dried before
the second coat is allowed to be applied).
What are the operation requirements for coating PCBA conformal coating?
1.The three prevention work should be carried out in a separate closed room, and the operation room must have good ventilation facilities.
2.Smoking, eating, drinking and drinking are prohibited in the operation room. Do not use alcoholic beverages before work.
3.Wear a mask or gas mask, rubber gloves, chemical protective glasses and other protective equipment during operation to avoid injury to the
body.
4.After the work is completed, the used utensils should be cleaned in time, the tools and equipment should be arranged and sassafras tested,
