Autoclave Resistant Adhesives May Be the Answer

Conformal coatings enhance the long-term reliability of electronic parts. When applied to circuitry on printed circuit boards they act as protection against destructive environmental conditions, that if left uncoated, could result in a complete failure of electronic systems.

The transition to LED curable conformal coatings is beginning to build momentum, beginning as a slow evolution and developing into a revolution of sorts.

Conformal coatings are applied to printed circuit boards (PCBs) to protect them from environmental stress such as salt, corrosion, humidity, and moisture, mitigate tin whiskers, and provide a barrier to electrically insulate components.

Shielding printed circuit boards from environmental damage is the primary purpose for using light-cure conformal coatings.
