Conformal Coating
|
Conformal coatings are specially formulated lacquers designed to protect Printed Circuit Boards (“PCBs”) and related equipment from the environment. This improves and extends the PCBs working life and ensures security and reliability of performance. These coatings 'conform' to the contours of the PCB and its components creating a thin (25-50 microns) layer which is both lightweight and flexible. Conformal coatings protect circuitry from hazards such as chemicals (e.g. fuels, coolants etc.), vibration, moisture, salt spray, humidity and high temperature. In an uncoated PCB, these conditions can cause corrosion, mold growth and power leakage resulting in operational failure. Conformal coatings provide protection for electronic circuitry in a wide range of products including:
