What it is

The Despatch PCO2-14 is an electrically heated polyimide curing oven for hard baking polyimide coatings in an inert atmosphere.[1][2]

How it works

The PCO2-14 uses recirculated airflow and HEPA filtration to support clean operation.[1][2]

The PCO2-14 uses an oxygen control system that maintains oxygen at 20 ppm or less during curing by monitoring oxygen and controlling nitrogen purge and a modulating valve.[1][2]

The PCO2-14 uses process monitoring with Protocol 3 software, Ethernet connectivity, and an integrated display to observe cycles and log temperatures and oxygen levels.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The PCO2-14 sits in the thermal cure step after polyimide coatings have been prepared for hard bake.[1][2]

Polyimide hard bake uses a controlled oven environment to remove residual solvent and finalize surface properties while limiting oxidation.[1][2]

Applications

The PCO2-14 is intended for polyimide baking and curing applications.[1][2]

The PCO2-14 is used for hard baking polyimide coatings in an inert atmosphere with controlled oxygen content.[1][2]
