HumiSeal works with distributor in Italy on conformal coating training seminars
Article Type: Industry news From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 22, Issue 2
Working with its Italian distributor, Cabiotec, and other leading manufacturers, the three one day events have proved to be extremely popular with EMS providers throughout the country in helping dispel some of the myths surrounding this area of manufacturing.
The days consisted of a number of presentations on the makeup of conformal coatings, the different chemistries and applications as well as the legal requirements and legislation affecting the application of coatings within the electronics industry. The day also included demonstrations of selective coating using a PVA coating machine dispensing HumiSeal’s 1B73 and 1B73LED as well as the water based product 1H20. The practical demonstrations illustrated how the different materials reacted to being applied to various substrates at differing thicknesses.
A survey of delegates during the event showed that one of the primary issues for manufacturers regarding conformal coatings was the legal and legislative parameters surrounding the use of chemicals with 67 per cent of respondents indicating that this was a concern for them. Other issues included application and curing methods as well as selecting the right chemistry for a given application.
Based in Milan, Cabiotec has established a solid reputation within the Italian electronics industry, and were instrumental in the planning and execution of the training days which have proved to be highly successful. Delegates from 68 companies attended the event with the response so great that Cabiotec had to add an additional day in order to cope with the numbers.
