Conformal coating provides effective protection for PCBs against environmental factors like moisture, dust, and chemicals, extending their lifespan and improving reliability. At APTPCB, we offer high-quality conformal coating services tailored to your specific needs, ensuring your PCBs are well-protected for long-term performance. Whether you're in consumer electronics, automotive, or industrial applications, our team is here to deliver reliable and cost-effective solutions.

Conformal coating is a critical process in PCB assembly, used to protect your PCBs and their components from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. The process involves applying a thin protective layer of polymer that conforms to the contours of the PCB, safeguarding solder joints, component leads, exposed traces, and other sensitive areas. By creating a barrier between the PCB and the external environment, conformal coating helps to extend the lifespan and ensure the reliable operation of your electronic devices.

At APTPCB, we offer high-quality conformal coating services that provide robust protection for your PCBs, whether for consumer electronics, industrial applications, or mission-critical systems. Our conformal coating solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of your products, ensuring they perform optimally even in harsh environments.

Conformal coating enhances the durability of PCBs by shielding them from various environmental hazards. The application of this protective layer can increase the operational lifespan and reliability of your PCBs. Here are some of the key benefits of conformal coating:

We provide a range of conformal coating materials to meet different application needs. The choice of coating material depends on the environmental conditions, the required protection level, and the specific application. Here's a breakdown of the most common types of conformal coatings:

The method of applying conformal coating depends on your production needs, PCB design, and coating requirements. We offer the following application methods:

Coating thickness: The standard thickness for conformal coating ranges from 1 to 5 mils (25 to 127 microns). This thickness ensures adequate protection without compromising the functionality of the components. Thickness is carefully measured using tools such as wet film gauges, micrometers, or ultrasonic thickness gauges.

Drying and curing times: Drying times vary depending on the resin type, coating thickness, and curing method: Evaporative cure (handling time within an hour, full cure in several days), Moisture cure (full cure in several days), Heat cure (accelerates polymerization; cure time depends on temperature), UV cure (cures rapidly in exposed areas, but shadowed areas may take longer).

Achieving the best results in conformal coating requires careful planning and preparation. Here are the best practices for successful application:
