Nano Coating and Conformal Coating: A Functional Comparison

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 3, 2017

The engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale, nanotechnology encompasses management of individual atoms, combined into effective working units, often complex as machines.   Yielding advantages like enhanced chemical reactivity and strength than larger-scale structures, they offer greater control of the light spectrum and weigh significantly less.  Incredibly small, one nanometer

Conformal Coating Boots vs Tape: Making the Right Choice

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jan 27, 2017

Masking tapes and boots both protect components for a selected range of masking functions.  Choosing between the two is crucial to achieving optimal masking protection.  Conductivity needs to be maintained in all cases.  In addition, such operational factors as the:

Conformal Coating Masking Boots

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Jan 20, 2017

Masking is necessary because conformal films like parylene and liquid coatings become insulative after drying, disturbing the performance of such critical components as connector contacts.  Custom reusable boots – also called caps or plugs — protect assembly parts in those keep-out areas that must not be coated.  In comparison to masking materials like tapes and […]
