Assembly in Action: Low-VOC Fluid Cleans Conformal Coating Equipment
The facility needed a solvent with low volatile organic compounds to clean the automatic dispensing system, which applies a silicone conformal coating to printed circuit boards (PCBs). The coating is applied to PCBs to protect electronic components that control various functions in automobiles.
The company selected Dow Corning Corp.'s (Midland, MI) OS-120 fluid to remove the residual silicone from the dispensing equipment after production runs.
