Presentation outlining the newest Silicone Conformal coating from HumiSeal 1C63

2. Silicone
1C63
• A dual cure silicone material
specifically developed for electrical
insulation applications
• UL recognized, one part material,
designed for manual and automated
dispensing systems
• Fast processing and eliminates
shadow area concerns with secondary
moisture cure

6. Processing
1C63 Cure
• 1C63 uses UV H bulb to cure.
Depending on thickness, 1-5 J/cm2 is
needed.
• 1C63 will not exotherm during cure
hence provides protection of any
sensitive components
• Any shadow areas will cure at room
temperature with ambient moisture

10. Conformal
Coating • Poor surface cleanliness is most common
cause of coating problems
– Adhesion loss
– Electrical failures
– Coating voids
• IPC specifications recommend ionic
cleanliness level of < 1.5 g/cm2 NaCl
equivalence

11. Conformal
Coating • Need to keep within recommended ranges
• Too Thick
– Incomplete drying / solvent entrapment
– Bubbles
– Longer cure times
– Shrinking or cracking
– Decreased coating properties
• Too Thin
Troubleshooting – Inadequate Protection!
