Conformal coating removal techniques

Summarizes the different techniques for the removal of conformal coatings from printed circuit boards and other electronic assemblies. Addresses each of the four techniques for the removal of conformal coating (thermal, mechanical, chemical and abrasive), along with how they work with each type of conformal coating (urethane, acrylic, silicone, epoxy, parylene and UV curable coatings). Also provides summaries for the removal times and clean up for each technique.
