Conformal Coating
Conformal coatings protect electronic printed circuit boards from moisture and contaminants, preventing short circuits and corrosion of conductors and solder joints. They also minimize dendritic growth and the electromigration of metal between conductors. In addition, the use of conformal coatings protects circuits and components from abrasion and solvents. Stress relief is also provided, as well as protection of the insulation resistance of the circuit board.
Conformal Coatings Options
For conformal coatings, the most competitive options are materials based on: acrylics, epoxies, urethanes, parxylenes or silicones.
- AcrylicAcrylic coatings are typically solvent based and are easily repaired. Traditionally they were low cost but have become less competitive with rising regulation requirements and safety concerns with solvent usage. They were tough, hard, and transparent – but lacked stress relieving capability. Pot life was good since additional solvent could be added to keep the bath viscosity low and they exhibited low moisture absorption and had short drying times when volatile solvents were used.
- EpoxyEpoxy coatings are very hard, usually opaque and are good at resisting the effects of moisture. They possess excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, but can cause stress on components during thermal extremes. Cure chemistries can sometimes require extra precaution for safe handling. Fluctuating temperatures can cause considerable drift in viscosities and difficulties in controlling cure times and coating thicknesses.
- UrethaneUrethane coatings are tough, hard and exhibit excellent resistance to solvents. Along with excellent abrasion resistance and low moisture permeability, they offer good low temperature flexibility.Their use is often prevented by their limited high-temperature capability and lack of repairability.
- ParaxylyleneParaxylylene coatings are very uniform and yield excellent pin coverage. Their limitations include high cost, sensitivity to contaminants and the need for vacuum application technique.
- SiliconeSilicone coatings range from elastoplastic (tough, abrasion-resistant) to soft, elastomeric (stress-relieving) materials.
They possess the following characteristics:- Heat cure or RTV cure
- Usefulness over a very wide temperature range
- Good moisture and humidity resistance
- Processing versatility
- Easy repairability
- Low toxicity
