Conformal Coatings

MG Chemicals offers an extensive range of conformal coatings to protect circuit boards from common contaminants, extending their lifespan. These coatings, available in various chemistries like acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, silicone, and UV cure, allow for customization to match protection needs and processing requirements. Conformal coatings, which are clear, flexible topcoats, adapt to the intricate geometries of PCBs and enhance their durability. Eight distinct families of conformal coatings, each with its advantages and disadvantages, are available, including acrylic, polyurethane, silicone, epoxy, UV curable, parylene, ultra-thin, and styrenated block-copolymer types. Choosing the appropriate technology depends on factors such as required certifications, environmental concerns, and processing capabilities. Ultimately, the right material selection hinges on understanding your specific needs.
