Conformal Coating StripperGel 8310A Technical Data Sheet ISO 9001:2008 Registered Quality System. Burlington, Ontario, CANADA SAI Global File: 004008 8310A Description The 8310A Conformal Coating Stripper Gel removes most reworkable conformal coatings and readily removes thermoplastic (non-cross linked) acrylics, urethanes, and silicones based conformal coatings. It also facilitates the removal of some thermoset coatings like cross-linked silicones and polyurethanes by softening or swelling the coat to aid with mechanical removal. This stripper is safe for most types of PCB components. It is fully biodegradable and environmentally safe. The primary applications of the 8310A are for PCB maintenance and repairs. It also works well for removing conductive ink lacquers.

Burlington, Ontario, CANADA SAI Global File: 004008 8310A Storage Store in an area above freezing temperature but below 30 C 86 F . Ensure that storage area is dry and away from sunlight. Store in a well-ventilated area and keep cool. Do not store next to strong oxidizers, acids, or bases. Health and Safety Please see the 8310A-Liquid Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for more details on transportation, storage, handling and other security guidelines. Application Instructions Follow the procedure below for best results. Because it is a gel, you may rework only specific areas of the printed circuit board. If necessary, mask areas not being stripped. Material & Equipment Wiping cloth Non-abrasive brush Solvent-based PCB Cleaner (824 Isopropyl Alcohol) Gloves and eye protection To remove the conformal coating 1. Apply a liberal amount of stripper to the coating. 2. Let sit about 1 2 hours or until the coat has softened. 3. (Optional) Use a non-abrasive brush or tool to remove most of the stripper, and then gently wipe surface with a clean cloth dampened with an organic PCB cleaner. 4. Rinse with a PCB cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to remove the remaining stripper. 5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 if necessary. Packaging and Supporting Products Cat.
