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

Aerospace Conformal Coatings: Acrylic vs Silicone vs Parylene

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Feb 9, 2018

Conformal coatings composed of acrylic, silicone and parylene polymer materials are valuable for a wide range of aerospace applications, which can push technologies to their limits. Applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) and related electrical assemblies, conformal coatings maintain device performance through difficult operational conditions. The presence of atmospheric variation, chemicals, hum
