Parylene and Arathane 5750: Low Outgassing Conformal Coatings

Posted by Sean Horn on Fri, Mar 17, 2017

Outgassing occurs when previously adsorbed or occluded gases or water vapor are released from some material.  With respect to protective conformal coatings, outgassing encompasses the discharge of gases previously confined within a high-frequency printed circuit board (PCB) or similar assembly material, often resulting in functional difficulties.

NASA Certified and Similarly Rated Conformal Coating Companies

NASA certification is essential to aerospace conformal coating applications, and thus is sought after by many firms in the industry.  In addition to 8739.1, other NASA standards, such as ASTM E595 – a test developed by NASA to determine levels of coatings’ volatile content, appropriately screening low outgassing materials for use in space – are […]
