ABchimie836UV LED Soft Dual Cure Conformal Coating

Main features

  • One Component
  • Dual Cure (UV LED and Humidity)
  • Excellent Moisture Resistance

Product Description

ABChimie® 836UV 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 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 836UV LED exhibits excellent moisture resistance in humid environments (Log Ohm> 10.5, IPC CC 830, SIR per IPC TM 650 2.6.3.4), which makes it ideal for conformal coating applications. The ideal application method is selective coating.  One of its advantages is that it cures rapidly under UV light, has zero VOCs, and can be applied to high-speed manufacturing processes to increase productivity. ABChimmie 836UV LED is in full compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations, and also has UL94 V0 and UL746E (QMJU2-E308681) certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABChimie® 836 UV LED

What are typical applications for ABChimie® 836 UV LED?

ABChimie® 836 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

Why choose ABChimie® 836 UV LED?

ABChimie® 836 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® 836 UV LED?

ABChimie® 836 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® 836 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® 836 UV LED?

ABChimie® 836 UV LED coating thickness depends on the application method.

Recommended thickness 30–130 microns
Spraying: 30–90 microns
Selective coating machine (film coater): 90–130 microns (380mm/s)

What safety precautions should I take?

Use ABChimie® 836 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® 836 UV LED can be customized for variable viscosities. Contact our team for guidance.

Should I control the application environment?

ABChimie® 836 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 ABChimie836UV 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; moisture completes the curing process over 7 days.

Double-Curing Mechanism

How does Moisture Cure Work?

Exposure to UV light activates photoinitiators, triggering rapid polymerization for surface cure. A secondary moisture-activated cure completes the process in shadowed areas over 7 days at ≥50% RH.

ABChimie 836 UV LED is also available in the mercury lamp version, which cures with a mercury lamp.
