Acrylic Conformal Coating (AR)

Swipe right for performance metrics

Without Coating Risk:

Ion migration causes avg. $4.7 million/year in field failures for unprotected consumer electronics.

The industry standard for general electronics. Acrylic provides excellent moisture and fungus resistance with the easiest reworkability—perfect for high-mix, low-volume production.

  • Cost-effective: 40% cheaper than urethane alternatives
  • Fast turnaround: Dry to touch in 10 minutes
  • High dielectric strength: 400V/mil protection

Customized Protection Strategies

From rapid prototyping to mass production, we align our coating methods to your volume and complexity—ensuring you never pay for tooling you don't need or wait for manual processes that scale too slowly.

Automated Selective Coating

Best for High-Volume & Consistency.

  • Eliminates masking tape costs
  • ±1mm precision for keep-out zones

Spraying & Dipping

Best for Complex 3D Geometries.

  • Ensures full wrap-around coverage
  • Ideal for hidden spots under ICs

Manual Brushing

Best for NPI & Quick Prototypes.

  • Zero setup cost & instant start
  • Perfect for urgent sample runs

Prevent Field Failures
Before They Happen

A coating is only as good as its verification. We don't just apply protection; we prove it. By strictly following IPC-CC-830 standards, we ensure your boards survive humidity, salt mist, and thermal shock.

100% UV Inspection

Eliminates "skipped zones." We ensure moisture finds no entry point.

Salt & Mist Check

Guarantees corrosion resistance even during long ocean shipping.

Thickness Check

Verifies dielectric strength. Too thin = short risk; Too thick = cracks.

Adhesion Testing

Ensures coating won't peel off under thermal shock or stress.

IPC-CC-830

Qualified to IPC standards for reliability and performance.

UL 746E

Using UL-certified coating materials for safety compliance.

RoHS & REACH

Fully compliant eco-friendly materials available.

Full Traceability

Batch tracking for all coating materials and processes.

Design for Coating
Lower Costs, Zero Defects.

Don't let poor PCB layout inflate your manufacturing costs. By following these three simple layout rules, you can eliminate manual masking, prevent capillary leakage, and accelerate your production cycle.

Define Keep-Out Zones

Pain: Connectors wicking fluid

Leave a minimum 3mm clearance around unsealed connectors, tactile switches, and test points. This allows the selective coating valve to move freely without spraying onto sensitive contacts.

Benefit: Eliminates manual masking

Smart Grouping

Pain: Complex robot path

Group tall components and components requiring coating (like high-pin-count ICs) together. Keep non-coated components (like RF modules) distinctly separated on the board layout.

Benefit: Accelerates UPH processing

Mind Your Vias

Pain: Unwanted capillary leakage

Avoid placing un-tented (un-masked) vias directly underneath or immediately adjacent to BGA components. Low-viscosity coatings can flow through these vias and damage mating surfaces.

Benefit: Prevents secondary rework

Agricultural Soil Monitor

Challenge: The Agricultural Soil Monitor runs 24/7 outdoors in farmland soil, enduring extreme environmental erosion from UV radiation, rainfall, acidic substances and dust.

Solution: Dip-coated the PCB with conformal coating. Encapsulate the PCB with a custom-molded white polyurethane casing of 65D hardness, which is formulated with UV inhibitors for enhanced outdoor durability.

FAQ

Conformal Coating FAQs

Q

What is the typical coating thickness?

Typically between 25-75 microns (1-3 mils) for acrylics and urethanes, and slightly thicker for silicones (50-200 microns), depending on IPC-A-610 standards. We measure thickness using eddy current gauges on test coupons to ensure consistency across your production batch.

Q

Do I need to mask connectors before coating?

Yes. We physically mask connectors, switches, and test points using high-temperature tapes or custom fixture masking for manual brushing/spraying/dipping. For automated selective coating, we program the machine to create ±1mm precision keep-out zones around critical components.

Q

Can you coat under BGA components?

Standard spraying relies on capillary action to reach under components, but coverage beneath BGAs is limited. For full underfill protection, we recommend a dedicated capillary underfill process before conformal coating, which creates a complete seal between the component and PCB.

Q

How do you test coating coverage and quality?

All our coating materials contain UV tracers. We perform 100% visual inspection under UV black light to ensure complete coverage and identify any de-wetting or pinholes. Additionally, we conduct periodic adhesion tests (tape test per IPC-TM-650) and dielectric withstand voltage testing.

Q

Acrylic vs. Urethane vs. Silicone: Which should I choose?

Choose Acrylic for easy rework and general humidity protection. Use Urethane for chemical resistance and abrasion protection in harsh industrial environments. Select Silicone for high-temperature applications (>125°C) or when you need flexibility for thermal cycling. We also offer Parylene for medical/ aerospace applications requiring ultra-thin, pinhole-free coverage.

Q

Can conformal coating be repaired or removed?

Acrylics can be removed easily with solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) for component rework. Urethanes require more aggressive solvents and mechanical scraping. Silicones are the most difficult to remove and often require specialized peeling tools or thermal methods. We can perform localized rework at component level while preserving the surrounding coating.
