Vaniman Problast 3 micro abrasive blaster for PCB conformal coating and Parylene removal – SCH Services UK

Why the Vaniman Problast Micro Blaster?

  • Proven in conformal coating removal – Acrylic, Urethane, Silicone, Epoxy, and Parylene
  • Precision control – safe for delicate PCB assemblies
  • Clean blasting chamber – ESD-safe options for electronics
  • Durable, reliable USA-made design
  • Optimised with VanAcrylic media – stable ESD control and consistent results on sensitive PCBs
  • Complete solution – Problast 3 ESD + VanAcrylic + HEPA dust collection
  • Full support & spares from SCH (UK/EU)

Conformal Coating & Parylene Removal

Vaniman Problast Micro Abrasive Blaster is one of the most effective ESD-safe tools for:

  • Parylene rework – remove Parylene from PCBs, connectors, or masked zones without damaging the board
  • Conformal coating rework – strip Acrylic, Urethane, Silicone, and Epoxy coatings for inspection or repair
  • Selective removal – expose test points, grounding pads, or solder joints with pinpoint accuracy

With its ESD-safe design, the Problast 3 is ideal for delicate electronics work. By using micro-abrasive blasting instead of solvents, you avoid chemical handling risks, speed up rework, and improve repeatability.

NEW: VanAcrylic Thermoset Plastic Media

Pair the Problast 3 ESD with Vaniman’s new VanAcrylic thermoset plastic blasting media for faster, safer conformal-coating and Parylene removal. Static-resistant, chemically inert, environmentally safe — and Mil-Spec approved.

Developed specifically for electronics rework, VanAcrylic is the ideal match for the Problast 3 ESD, combining stable ESD control with uniform particle sizing for predictable results.

VanAcrylic + Problast 3 ESD = a Matched System

Combine VanAcrylic media with the Problast 3 ESD to maximise control and repeatability. The ESD-safe chamber, precision pressure control and interchangeable tips complement VanAcrylic’s particle size — giving fast strip rates with low substrate risk and minimal clean-up.

Key Features for Conformal Coating & Parylene Rework

  • Optimised for PCB assemblies – controlled removal without damaging delicate components
  • Parylene removal capability – proven to strip Parylene for rework, inspection, or cleaning
  • Adjustable blasting pressure – fine-tune for thin or thick coatings
  • Interchangeable tips – target vias, joints, or board areas
  • ESD-safe models available – Problast 3 ESD includes anti-static chamber
  • Clean operation – optional HEPA collectors keep coatings and abrasives contained
