Frequently Asked Questions About ABChimie® 746E UV LED

What are typical applications for ABChimie® 746E UV LED?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED is a low viscosity 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

Why choose ABChimie® 746E UV LED?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED delivers rapid UV curing, excellent electrical insulation, optical transparency, and strong adhesion to flexible substrates. It supports high-throughput manufacturing while providing durable protection for sensitive components.

What is the shelf life of ABChimie® 746E UV LED?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED has a shelf life of 12 months when stored at 5–30°C in tightly sealed containers. Prior to use, allow the product to equilibrate for 24 hours at 18–32°C for optimal performance.

What happens after the shelf life?

Using ABChimie® 746E UV LED past its shelf life may alter viscosity, affecting uniformity and application performance. Always use an in-date product for reliable results.

What is the recommended thickness for ABChimie® 746E UV LED?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED coating thickness depends on the application method.

Recommended thickness 40–120 microns
Spraying (two crossed layers): 60–80 microns
Brushing: 40-60 microns
Selective coating machine (film coater): 80–120 microns

What safety precautions should I take?

Use ABChimie® 746E UV LED in a well-ventilated area, avoid skin and eye contact, and follow all Safety Data Sheet (SDS) guidelines. Keep away from open flames and sparks.

Can I adjust the viscosity?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED can be customized for variable viscosities. Contact our team for guidance.

Should I control the application environment?

ABChimie® 746E UV LED should be applied at a minimum temperature of 16°C and a minimum relative humidity of 50%. The relative humidity of at least 50% is recommended for the secondary polymerization. Before applying, the PCB must be clean, dry, and free of moisture. A stage in an oven at 80°C for 4 hours is usually sufficient.

Application tips

How to Optimise for the Best Results

 
PCB Preparation

PCBs must be completely dry and thoroughly clean, with no dust, grease, wax, or other contaminants. All flux residues must be removed to prevent corrosion or malfunctions.

How to clean the PCB

For cleaning equipment or removing uncured ABChimie 746E UV or UV LED varnish, use SND or ABclean solvent.

UV Recommendation

Use the correct UV equipment and recommended settings to achieve optimal properties. UV exposure plus moisture curing ensures complete polymerization.

Curing Mechanism

Curing Mechanism: UV light creates the first cure, and after 7 days, the moisture from the environment completes the curing process.

Double-Curing Mechanism

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.

ABChimie 746E UV and ABChimie 746E UV 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 746E UV LED is also available in the mercury lamp version, which cures with a mercury lamp.
