Conformal coating technology is on a continuous path of improvement, and we're excited to say the latest step on that path just happened.

IPC-CC-830 has superseded MIL-46058 as the primary specification for conformal coatings on printed circuit assemblies.

Spraying conformal coating on a circuit board is an essential step in protecting electronic components from harsh environments. However, even experienced professionals can make mistakes during the process, resulting in significant damage to the circuit board.

Conformal coatings are thin-layer polymers that are applied to the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs), with typical thickness between 25μm to 150μ, to protect and electrically insulate the circuits and board components from environmental stresses.

Modern PCBs are smaller and more densely populated with sensitive components than ever before, especially in demanding industries such as automotive and aerospace.
