Properties of Acrylic Conformal Coating

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 16, 2018

Exceptionally user-friendly, liquid acrylic resin (AR) conformal coatings protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) and similar electronics from corrosion, dirt/dust, fungus, moisture, and thermal shocks. AR’s ease of application contributes to its status as the most frequently used conformal material. Liquid Application Methods for AR The primary means of AR liquid application are brush, dipping (i

Best Coating for Dielectric Strength

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Dec 22, 2017

Dielectric strength is a measurement of a conformal coating’s insulation effectiveness. The higher the numerical designation of strength, the more likely a coating is to resist dielectric breakdown — a level of 7,000 is dielectrically stronger than 2,200. Conformal coatings with higher hydrophobic properties and lower extractible ionic impurities are less likely to attract water, […

3 Key Properties of Acrylic Conformal Coating

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Aug 4, 2017

Conformal coatings made of acrylic resin (AR) are very popular, because of their distinctive beneficial properties. They protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) and similar electronics from corrosion, dirt, dust, fungus, moisture, and thermal shocks. Exceptionally user-friendly, liquid AR can be simply applied by brush, dip, or manual/robotic spray, generally resulting in the fastest turnaround-time
