Main features
- One Component
- Dual Cure (UV and Humidity)
- High Edge Coverage
Product Description
ABChimie® 800UV 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 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 800UV exhibits an increased viscosity formulation (>500cP), which makes it ideal for conformal coating applied through the selective coating method. The increased viscosity also improves the edge coverage of the PCB. The coating cures rapidly under UV light, has low VOCs, and can be applied to high-speed manufacturing processes to increase productivity. ABChimmie 800UV is in full compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations, and is also going through UL qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABChimie® 800 UV
What are typical applications for ABChimie® 800 UV?
ABChimie® 800 UV 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
Why choose ABChimie® 800 UV?
ABChimie® 800 UV 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. 800 is a medium viscosity coating.
What is the recommended curing method for ABChimie® 800 UV?
ABChimie® 800 UV is UV-curable and should be cured with a mercury lamp. The minimum UVA dose is 1000 mJ/cm² for a 100 μm thickness. The mercury lamp-curable version is ABChimie® 800 UV. Higher UVA doses do not negatively affect final properties.
Should I control the application environment?
ABChimie® 800 UV 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 800UV 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.

Main Advantages of ABChimie 800 UV
ABchimie® 800 UV cures through a dual mechanism: UV exposure initiates rapid surface curing, while moisture ensures complete curing throughout the coating. This combination provides a uniform, durable protective layer with optimal adhesion and performance.
For improved edge coverage, ABChimie® 800 UV features a carefully balanced viscosity that allows the material to flow evenly across PCB surfaces and around sharp edges. This controlled flow minimizes thinning at corners and edges, resulting in a more uniform coating thickness and consistent coverage across complex board geometries.
ABchimie® 800 UV can be soldered through without generating highly toxic gases, ensuring safe processing. The coating maintains its integrity during soldering, allowing reliable connections while protecting the underlying components.
ABchimie® 800 UV provides excellent adhesion even in harsh environments. The coating forms a durable, long-lasting protective layer that resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature variations, ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.

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 800 UV or UV LED varnish, we recommend using SND or ABclean solvent.
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. ABchimie 800 UV 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.
ABchimie 800 UV and ABchimie 800 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.
Alternative to Mercury Lamp Curing of ABChimie 800 UV
ABChimie 800 UV is also available in the LED lamp version, which cures with an LED lamp.
