Bubbles. They can be a real challenge in any adhesive or coating, but they are particularly undesirable when covering electronics and printed circuit boards (PCBs) with fluid conformal coating material.

Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) is a crucial process that requires high precision and accuracy.

When it comes to selecting UV curing equipment, engineers often rely on product data sheets to compare various specifications such as intensity, curing area, and lifespan.

Before we look at conformal coating in the 21st Century, it is worth looking at how our industry has changed since the 20th Century and the effect these changes have had on reliability.

Toluene and Xylene: solvents that have shown value and utility within the adhesives and coatings industries for decades. However, they often serve as a double-edged sword, offering superior solvent and drying capabilities but accompanied by some negative health and environmental impacts.
