- Dual Cure (UV and Humidity)
- Low Viscosity
Product Description
ABChimie® 526UV LED is a transparent urethane acrylate conformal coating designed to provide mechanical and environmental protection to electronic components and assemblies. It features dual-cure technology (UV LED and humidity), which allows for the complete crosslinking through the entire PCB, even in areas that may be covered by shadow. The coating also allows the PCB to be soldered through without producing toxic gases.
ABChimie 526UV LED exhibits a low viscosity formulation and can be applied by brush, pad printing, manual spray, and selective coating. The decreased viscosity allows for a very thin thickness of 80-100 microns. The coating cures rapidly under UV LED light (395 nm), has no VOCs, and can be applied to high-speed manufacturing processes to increase productivity. ABChimmie 526UV is in full compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations, and has UL94 V0 and UL746E (QMJU2-E308681) certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABChimie® 526 UV LED
What are typical applications for ABChimie® 526 UV LED?
ABChimie® 526 UV LED is a UV-curable conformal coating designed to protect printed circuit board assemblies (PCBs) and components in demanding manufacturing environments, including:
- Automotive electronics (e.g., control units, sensors)
- Industrial automation (e.g., motor drives, PLCs)
- Consumer electronics (e.g., smart devices, wearables)
- Other high-reliability electronic assemblies
Should I control the application environment?
ABChimie® 526 UV led should be applied at a minimum temperature of 16°C and a minimum relative humidity of 50% are recommended for coating application. The relative humidity of at least 50% is recommended for the second ABchimie TDS ABchimie 526 UV and UV LED polymerization mechanism. Before applying, the printed circuit board must be clean, dry, and free of moisture. A stage in an oven at 80 °C for 4 hours is usually sufficient.

How to Optimise for the Best Results
PCBs must be completely dry and thoroughly clean, with no dust, grease, wax, or other contaminants. Coating adhesion depends directly on the quality of the substrate. All flux residues must be fully removed, as they can become corrosive and lead to circuit malfunctions.
For cleaning equipment or removing uncured ABchimie 526 UV or UV LED varnish, we recommend using SND or ABclean solvent (no aqueous solutions).
It is essential to use the correct UV equipment (UV or LED) and follow the recommended settings to achieve the optimal properties of the cured conformal coating. These parameters influence both the coating’s reactivity and surface quality. ABchimie526UV and UV LED cure through UV exposure, with moisture contributing to a secondary curing mechanism.
Curing Mechanism: UV light creates the first cure, and after 7 days the moisture from the environment completes the curing process.
How does Moisture Cure Work?
During UV curing, exposure to UV light activates the photoinitiators in the conformal coating, triggering rapid polymerization of the resin. This results in an immediate surface cure and fast development of handling strength. UV curing provides precise, on-demand curing in exposed areas, enabling high-throughput processing while maintaining coating uniformity.
ABchimie526UV and ABchimie526UV LED use the same dual curing mechanism to ensure complete curing, including in shadowed or hard-to-reach areas. Initial curing is achieved by UV exposure, while a secondary moisture-activated cure completes the process at ambient temperature. For full curing in shaded areas, a minimum relative humidity of 50% is required for at least 7 days.
ABChimie 526 UV is also available in the mercury lamp version, which cures with an mercury lamp.
