Conformal Coating Market: Overview

Conformal coatings are thin polymeric films which are used for contouring printed circuit board, thereby protecting board component. Conformal coatings are generally of thickness 25-250 micrometers and protect printed circuit boards from moisture, air, chemicals, dust, and high temperature. Conformal coatings are of four types: silicone, acrylic, varnish, and urethane. Type of material of these coatings is selected based on manufacturing processes adopted and surrounding operating conditions. Conformal coatings are applied in variety of methods such as spraying, dip coating, brushing, and dispensing.

Conformal coatings are mainly utilized in providing protection to PCBs from harsh environmental conditions and avoid mold growth, corrosion, and component failures. Conformal coatings are applicable in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive, and medical as increasing reliability of PCBs is of high importance in such industries to ensure efficient operations. Conformal coatings are of high importance in electromagnetic sensitive components, opened components, optical components, and flexible electronic components.
