Printed circuit sheets (PCBs) structure a necessary piece of any electronic gadget and fill in as the establishment of a dominant part of electronic items. They are useful focuses of most electronic gadgets and are utilized to associate different electronic parts mounted on them, in this way framing a get together or hardware intended to perform different capacities.
Conformal coatings are protective chemical coatings that protect electronic circuit boards from harsh environments that contain moisture, salt, or other contaminants. Conformal coatings ensure operational integrity of the electronic assembly by preventing it from voltage arcing, shorts, and static discharge. Generally, conformal coatings for the protection of printed circuit boards are based on acrylic, silicone, polyurethane, epoxy, parylene, etc.
Acrylic conformal coatings can resist abrasion and can be easily applied or removed for repair or rework. They provide fair elasticity and are recognized for their high dielectric strength. Silicone conformal coatings provide superior chemical resistance and salt spray resistance. They are very flexible. Removal of silicone conformal coatings is quite challenging as it requires specialized solvents and long soaking time. Polyurethane conformal coatings are known for their superior resistance to moisture and chemicals. They offer high abrasion and excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. Epoxy conformal coatings are generally available as two-part compounds.

These conformal coatings provide resistance to humidity and high resistance to abrasion and chemicals. Once cured, they are very difficult to remove. Parylene conformal coatings are a special type of coating applied through vapor-phase deposition. They offer excellent dielectric strength and superior resistance to solvents and extreme temperatures. Fluoropolymer-based conformal coatings are generally dissolved in a fluorocarbon-based carrier solvent, and they are applied as a thin coat.
