Frequently Asked Questions About HumiSeal® UV10
What are typical applications for HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 is an UV acrylate conformal coating used for protecting printed circuit board assemblies (PCBs), specifically for air and space applications due to its low outgassing capabilities.
Why choose HumiSeal® UV10 over other conformal coatings?
HumiSeal® UV10 is a single-component coating that offers excellent protection. It provides superior electrical insulation, fluoresces under UV for easy inspection, and is easily repairable. UV10 would be ideal for applications in aerospace where low outgassing and quick curing by UV or heat is required. It passes NASA ASTM E595, and is also compliant with IPC-CC-830 and RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, making it a trusted choice for demanding applications. You can learn how to select a conformal coating in our latest blog.
What is the shelf life of HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature (18 to 35°C) in tightly closed containers. Prior to use, allow the product to equilibrate for 24 hours at 18 to 32°C to ensure optimal performance.
How should I clean tools after applying HumiSeal® UV10?
Tools and equipment used for applying HumiSeal® UV10 (e.g., spray guns, brushes, or dipping tanks) can be cleaned using HumiSeal® Thinner 503/505/73 for dipping & brushing, and HumiSeal® Thinner 521/521EU/600 for spraying. For removing the coating from PCBs during rework, use HumiSeal® Stripper 1080/1080EU. Always use a lint-free cloth and ensure proper ventilation during cleaning.
What happens to HumiSeal® UV10 after its shelf life?
Past its 24-month shelf life, HumiSeal® UV10 may experience changes in viscosity, which could affect application consistency and coating uniformity. Using expired product may lead to suboptimal performance, and the manufacturer will not be liable for quality or performance issues if expired material is used.
Why do curing times vary for HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 LowOutgas is a highly crosslinked coating. To achieve maximum cross-linking
density, the product must be exposed to the correct spectral output. The table below outlines the
required dosage and irradiance values necessary to properly cure using microwave-style UV cure
conveyors at a speed of up to 2 ft/min. “H” style bulbs are recommended. 
After UV exposure and return to room temperature, the coating should be tack-free. For curing shadow areas, a secondary curing mechanism is necessary using heat. Used in conjunction with UV, this ensures complete curing of the coating.
What is the recommended thickness for HumiSeal® UV10?
The recommended coating thickness for HumiSeal® UV10 is 25 to 125 microns as recommended by IPC guidelines. This range ensures optimal protection without compromising flexibility or electrical performance. The thickness can be adjusted by controlling viscosity with the appropriate thinner during application.
What are the differences between application methods for HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 can be applied via spraying, dipping, or brushing. Spraying and dipping are ideal for large-scale production, while brushing is suited for small repairs. Each method requires adjusting viscosity with the appropriate thinner for a uniform coating.
Depending on the solvent added, the surface tension may slightly decrease when the viscosity is lower.
What is the maximum operating temperature for HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 can withstand thermal shock from -65°C to +125°C per IPC-CC-830. It is not recommended for continuous operation above 125°C, as prolonged exposure to higher temperatures may degrade its protective properties.
What safety precautions should I take when using HumiSeal® UV10?
The solvents in HumiSeal® UV10 are flammable, so avoid open flames or sparks during application. Use in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhalation of vapors or spray mist, and avoid skin and eye contact. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use for detailed safety guidelines.
How can I ensure proper application of HumiSeal® UV10?
HumiSeal® UV10 fluoresces under UV light, allowing for easy inspection of coating coverage. After application, use a UV light source to check for uniform coating and ensure there are no missed areas, which is critical for high-reliability electronics manufacturing.
How does HumiSeal® UV10 perform in harsh environments?
HumiSeal® UV10 is designed for harsh conditions, with excellent moisture insulation resistance and fungus resistance per ASTM G21. It maintains performance in humid, mechanically stressful, or temperature-cycling environments, making it ideal for mission-critical systems.

HumiSeal® UV10 is a proven solution for engineers seeking long-term protection of electronic assemblies in demanding environments. This acrylic conformal coating offers a unique combination of ease of use, excellent electrical insulation, and low outgassing—making it an industry favorite for protecting PCBs in sectors such as aerospace
Key Features at a Glance
- ✔ Tack-free once exposed to UV light
- ✔ Compatible with “no-clean” flux residues
- ✔ Low outgassing NASA ASTM E595


Versatile Application Methods 🧰
Application methods
Whether you’re using spraying, dipping, or brushing, UV10 offers flexibility in manufacturing workflows. It can be diluted with HumiSeal® Thinner 501 to fine-tune application characteristics based on part geometry and production scale. The coating cures at room temperature in 24 hours, allowing integration into both batch and inline processes.
Application Methods:
- Spray: Dilute with HumiSeal® Thinner 501 (Recommended ratio 1:1)
- Dip: 5–15 cm/min withdrawal rate
- Brush: For touch-up applications
Cure the coating at room temperature (24 hrs) for convenience, or accelerate with thermal curing to match fast-paced production cycles.
Application Tip:
Coverage on the components will depend on the application method. With single layer for a board with tall components we would expect the thickness on the edges to be low. In this case, multi layer application will improve the coverage.
Alternatively an approach called "Dry Spray" may help. “Dry Spray” means to apply coating under high atomisation and low flow rate in multiple passes with spray coating method. Drying in between layers is quite quick.
Application Compatibility
It integrates well with lead-free processes, supports standard cleaning practices, and offers strong performance even on flux-contaminated surfaces.
Compatible With:
- ✔ Compatible with “no-clean” flux residues
- ✔ Common PCB finishes including ENIG, HASL, and OSP
- ✔ High-reliability applications requiring low ionic content
- ✔ Lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing environments
- ✔ Cures at room temperature (24 hrs)
Additionally, its UV fluorescence ensures easy inspection, and the coating is reworkable using standard HumiSeal strippers—ideal for repairable designs and serviceable assemblies.
Low Outgassing 🧪
HumiSeal® UV10 is engineered for mission-critical electronic assemblies where low outgassing performance is essential. Qualified to NASA ASTM E595 requirements, it provides reliable environmental protection for printed circuit boards operating in space, vacuum, and other highly sensitive environments.
Fluorescent for Inspection 💡
To simplify quality assurance, HumiSeal® UV10 fluoresces under UV light, making it easy to confirm proper coating coverage during post-application inspection—an essential feature for high-reliability electronics manufacturers.


Repairable and Reworkable 🔁
Unlike many conformal coatings, HumiSeal® UV10 is easily repairable. Should rework or component replacement be required, the coating can be selectively removed using HumiSeal® Stripper 1080/1080EU, making it ideal for prototyping, low-volume builds, or field serviceability.
Reliable Across Environments 🌍
With a wide thermal shock range of –65°C to +125°C and resistance to fungus (ASTM G21) and moisture, UV10 ensures consistent performance across varied environmental conditions. It’s particularly well-suited for mission-critical systems exposed to humidity, mechanical stress, or temperature cycling.
