Conformal coatings are barrier materials typically applied in thin layers that provide chemical, mechanical, and/or electrical properties and/or protection. Typically thought of in the context of electronics, conformal coatings are also valued components of biological, medical, and industrial systems. Compare conformal coatings.

The safe handling of parts, the vast majority of which were not intended nor designed to be handled, is at the core of our competence. We identify and address any uniquely fragile conditions during the quote process. Our standard handling methods are designed to successfully process PWBs without damage and our ESD program complies with MIL-STD-1686 & ANSI/ESD S20.20 Standards.

The cleanliness of the part can significantly impact both the quality of the coating and the ability of the coating to adhere to the substrate. We must be certain the parts are clean before we coat the parts to guarantee high-quality results.

Options include Aqueous automatic PCB washing machines, plasma, IPA, DI water, various saponifiers, and other proprietary materials and techniques. Convection and vacuum ovens are used to ensure a clean and dry substrate. We tailor the cleaning method to suit the part.

Naturally, the thickness you require is in direct response to your end-use requirements. Urethane (UR) and Acrylic (AR) thicknesses typically tend to be in the .002 - .004" range. Silicone (SR) is slightly thicker. Parylene applications typically run much thinner for similar protection and are controllable from 0.2 microns to over 200 microns.
