MG Chemicals Conformal Coatings
MG Chemicals manufactures a wide range of conformal chemistries including acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, silicone and UV cure coatings.
Conformal Coatings
A conformal coating is a thin polymeric film applied to a printed circuit board (PCB) in order to protect the board and its components from the environment and to prevent corrosion. It is designed to cover and protect solder joints, the leads of electronic components, exposed traces, and other metallised areas from corrosion, ultimately extending the working life of the PCB.
MG Chemicals manufacture a range of Conformal Coatings covering a range of application methods and materials. Below are the most common Conformal Coatings, others may be available through our Sales Office.
Why use Conformal Coatings?
Conformal coatings are clear, flexible topcoats that conform to the intricate geometries of PCBs. They are applied over circuit boards to ruggedize them, and thereby extend product life.
Choosing the right technology will depend on considerations like: What certifications do I require? What are the main environmental concerns I need protection from? And, what are my processing capabilities? Here MG Chemicals provides a comprehensive overview on Conformal Coatings, why you should be using them and the applications they are best suited for.
