Using Conformal Coating to Prevent Reverse Engineering

Posted by Sean Horn on Tue, Aug 7, 2012

Conformal Coatings are used regularly in an attempt to cover technology designs on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Normally, this is done by using a pigmented (coloured) conformal coating which obscures the components below the conformal coating material.

When Not to Use Acrylic Conformal Coating

While acrylic conformal coating does have its many benefits, there are some applications whenever it is not the ideal conformal coating  to be using.  Typically in applications that have exposure to solvents, high temperature requirements, or require coating hardness, acrylic conformal coating should not be used.  Solvent exposure In applications that have an exposure to solvents, acrylic [&h
