PCB before applying HumiSeal

Proper PCB preparation is the most critical step before applying HumiSeal conformal coating, produced by Chase Corporation. I Montering av kretskort, SMT-montering, och Nyckelfärdig PCB-montering, poor preparation is the leading cause of coating failure such as delamination, bubbles, or corrosion.

Remove all contaminants

After soldering, PCBs often have residues that must be eliminated:

  • Flux residues (especially no-clean flux)
  • Oils from handling
  • Dust and particles
  • Ionic contamination

Cleaning methods:

  • Solvent cleaning (IPA or dedicated cleaners)
  • Ultrasonic cleaning for complex assemblies
  • Deionized (DI) water cleaning systems

A clean surface ensures proper adhesion of Konform beläggning.

Dry the PCB completely

Moisture trapped on the board can cause serious issues:

  • Poor coating adhesion
  • Blistering or bubbles
  • Korrosion under beläggningen

Best practices:

  • Air dry or use compressed air
  • Bake PCB at 50–80°C for 30–60 minutes if needed
  • Ensure no moisture remains under components

Inspect before coating

Before coating, perform a visual and quality inspection:

  • Check for solder defects (bridges, cold joints)
  • Ensure no residues remain
  • Verify components are properly mounted

Fixing issues after coating is much more difficult in SMT-montering.

Mask critical areas

Certain areas must not be coated:

  • Connectors and edge contacts
  • Test points
  • Switches and mechanical interfaces

Use masking tape, boots, or removable latex to protect these zones during Montering av kretskort.

Surface activation (optional but recommended)

For high-reliability applications:

Control handling and environment

  • Wear gloves to avoid fingerprints
  • Work in a clean, dust-free environment
  • Maintain controlled humidity and temperature

Contamination during handling can compromise coating quality.

Final readiness checklist

Before applying HumiSeal:

  • PCB is clean and contamination-free
  • Fully dry with no trapped moisture
  • Masking is correctly applied
  • Inspection is completed
  • Environment is controlled

Slutsats

Preparing the PCB properly is essential for successful HumiSeal coating. In Montering av kretskort, SMT-montering, och Nyckelfärdig PCB-montering, thorough cleaning, drying, inspection, and masking ensure strong adhesion, reliable protection, and long-term performance.
