Conformal Coating Stripping System for Complete PCB Coating Removal

Our Conformal Coating Stripping System provides complete and safe removal of conformal coatings, paints, and lacquers from printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electronic assemblies.

The system uses a four-stage wet stripping workstation contained behind a protective safety screen. Operators progressively remove coatings by moving PCBs through tanks of increasingly clean stripping fluid until all traces of coating are eliminated.

📚 WS100 Conformal Coating Stripping System – FAQs

1. What types of coatings can the WS100 remove?

The WS100 is designed for full-board stripping of difficult conformal coatings such as acrylics and urethanes. The system can use almost all proprietary stripping solutions that are matched to the confomal coating material.

2. How does the four-tank stripping process work?

The operator works safely behind a protective screen. The process follows a simple principle: the first tank removes the bulk of the coating, the next stages strip away progressively more, and the final tank provides a polish to leave the board clean. The exact strength, solution consistency, and material type are chosen by the operator to suit the coating being removed.

3. Is the WS100 safe for delicate electronics?

Yes. The system uses controlled immersion and the operator applies gentle agitation using suitable tools such as brushes to strip coatings without damaging solder joints, components, or substrates.

The integrated lighting and protective screen allow operators to work safely and precisely. The system itself is intrinsically safe, but the operator must check for compatibility issues with the stripping fluids being used and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

4. Can the WS100 handle solvent-based coatings?

For solvent-based coatings, the WS100 is usually fitted with a rear extraction system that is either portable or from a large EXD safe fan system. This safely removes VOC fumes from the workstation, keeping the environment compliant and safe for operators.

5. How durable is the WS100 for daily production?

The WS100 is built with solvent-resistant stainless-steel internals, integrated white/UV lighting, and a robust frame. It is designed for long-term daily use in coating shops and manufacturing lines where reliability is essential.
