Acrylic Coating
System Description
A fast air drying, single component, acrylic coating that provides excellent moisture and environmental protection for
printed circuit assemblies. The final film demonstrates excellent flexibility and is easily repairable. This coating is MILI-46058C and IPC-CC-830 qualified. Fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection.

Acrylic Coating
APPLICATION
Cleanliness of the substrate is of extreme importance for the successful application of a conformal coating.
Surfaces must be free of moisture, dirt, wax, grease and all other contaminants. Contamination under the coating
will cause problems that may lead to assembly failures.
HumiSeal coatings may be applied by brush, dip or spray.
Dipping
Depending on the complexity, density and configuration of components on the assembly, it may be necessary to
reduce the viscosity of HumiSeal 1B31™ with HumiSeal Thinner 503 in order to obtain a uniform film. Once
optimum viscosity is determined, a controlled rate of immersion and withdrawal (2 to 6" per minute) will further insure
even deposition of the coating and ultimately a uniform film. During the application, evaporation of solvent causes
an increase in viscosity that should be adjusted by adding small amounts of Thinner 503. Viscosity in the dip tank
should be regularly checked by the use of a simple measuring device such as a Zahn or Ford viscosity cup.
Spraying
HumiSeal 1B31™ can be sprayed using conventional spraying equipment. As a rule, the addition of Thinner 521 is
necessary to assure a uniform spray pattern resulting in pinhole free film. The amount of thinner and spray pressure
will depend on the specific type of spray equipment used. The spraying should be done under an exhaust hood so
that the vapor and mist are carried away from the operator. The recommended ratio of HumiSeal 1B31™ to
HumiSeal Thinner 521 is 1 to 1 by volume, as a starting point. The quantities may be adjusted to obtain a uniform
coating.
Brushing
HumiSeal 1B31™ may be brushed with a small addition of HumiSeal Thinner 503. Uniformity of the film depends on
component density and operator's technique.
Storage
HumiSeal 1B31™ should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, in tightly closed containers.
HumiSeal products may be stored at temperatures of 0-100°F. Avoid direct sunlight. Prior to use, allow the product
to equilibrate for 24 hours at 65-90°F.
Caution
The solvents in HumiSeal 1B31™ are flammable. Do not use in presence of open flame or sparks. Avoid inhalation
of vapors or spray. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, wash with
soap and water. If swallowed, call physician immediately. Refer to MSDS before use.
