In conclusion, there remains no clear definition of what constitutes a nano-conformal coating for printed circuit boards. Coating needs range from very thin to those applied at or near traditional technologies when the highest performance is required. When used at their nano-thicknesses, there are many serious concerns in areas such as abrasion and wear resistance, moisture and solvent vapor resistance, and others. The typically high cost of these coatings as well as the potential to require significant changes to application equipment are also negative considerations for coatings of this family.

What is PCB Surface Energy and How Does It Affect Conformal Coating

Surface chemistry is an enormously complex and cussed branch of the sciences; consequently, we will attempt only a layman's discussion and understanding here. For the purposes of conformal coating, surface energy must be considered for both the exposed surface of the PCB as well as for the coating itself.

Unpacking the Rising Popularity of LED Curable Conformal Coatings

The transition to LED curable conformal coatings is beginning to build momentum, beginning as a slow evolution and developing into a revolution of sorts. If you and your organization are faced with aging equipment and higher costs, there isn't a better time to consider the potential advantages of LED curable conformal coatings!

To Clean or Not To Clean Before Conformal Coating

In the days before surface mount printed circuit assemblies, components (such as resistors, diodes, and capacitors) were axial, and printed circuit board components were installed with the “through-hole” method using large conductor spacing. With the advent of integrated circuits, these too were through-hole with good spacing between legs.
