HumiSeal has achieved MIL-I-46058 certification for its UV curing products UV40 and UV40LV. The company now offers 16 MIL specified products, as well as a large range of products with both MIL-I-46058C and UL-746E accreditation. Conformal coatings must be selected and their characteristics matched carefully to the applications for which they will be used. Thus vendors supply information on numerous product performance parameters according to industry protocols such as the exacting IPC-CC-830 standards. The problem with such protocols is that vendors test their own products and report the results, with no independent verification of the test methods, results or presentation of those results. For these reasons, in-house testing, can be unacceptable for some sectors.
Qualification to the MIL-I-46058C specification is obligatory for critical defence and aerospace applications. MIL specification tests are conducted by an independent laboratory using known, verified methods. The results are unequivocal and completely independent of commercial pressures, and products are graded to clear standards that guarantee their quality, reliability and performance. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) specify equally stringent independent test procedures to certify finished assembly product safety. By documenting the use of UL approved materials throughout assembly, manufacturers negate the need for expensive final product testing to guarantee conformity to North American safety requirements.
