Conformal Coating Stripping System for Complete PCB Coating Removal

Safe and Effective Solutions for All Coating Types

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 purpose-built for full-board stripping of tough conformal coatings, especially acrylics and urethanes. Because it works with almost all proprietary stripping solutions, operators can select the chemistry that best matches the coating material for fast and reliable results.

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

The operator works safely behind a protective screen while following a straightforward sequence. First, the initial tank removes the bulk of the coating. Next, the second and third stages progressively strip away the remaining layers. Finally, the fourth tank polishes the surface to leave the board completely clean.

3. Is the WS100 safe for delicate electronics?

Absolutely. The WS100 relies on controlled immersion, while the operator gently agitates with tools such as brushes to remove coatings without harming solder joints, components, or substrates.

4. Can the WS100 handle solvent-based coatings?

Yes. When working with solvent-based materials, the WS100 can be fitted with a rear extraction system — either a portable unit or a large EXD-safe fan setup. This actively removes VOC fumes, keeping the environment safe for operators.

5. How durable is the WS100 for daily production?

The WS100 is built to last. With solvent-resistant stainless-steel internals, robust framing, and integrated white/UV lighting, the system withstands heavy daily use. It is specifically engineered for coating shops and manufacturing lines where long-term reliability is essential.
