Adhesion is one of the most critical factors in achieving reliable conformal coating performance. Even the most advanced coating—such as Parylene—can fail if it doesn’t bond strongly to the underlying surface. That’s where adhesion promoters come in. At SCH Services Ltd, we supply and use several types of adhesion promoters, each tailored to different substrate […]

When it comes to conformal coatings, adhesion is everything. A coating may offer excellent barrier protection, but if it delaminates or peels away from the surface, performance and reliability are instantly compromised. In the world of Parylene coatings, one question often raised is whether adhesion decreases as the coating thickness increases. Understanding Parylene Deposition Parylene […]

Precision, Safety, and Reliability — Redefined When it comes to coating removal and precision cleaning, the challenge has always been finding a media that’s effective yet gentle — one that removes coatings cleanly without compromising delicate substrates. Now, there’s a new solution: Vaniman’s VanAcrylic Thermoset Plastic Blasting Media — engineered for precision coating removal, surface […]

When it comes to controlling electrostatic discharge (ESD), many industries have turned to ESD paints. These coatings are marketed as flexible enough to cover floors, ceilings, plastics, paper, cardboard, and foams, making them appear like a universal solution for static control. But the reality is very different. While traditional paints may provide short-term conductivity, they […]

Introduction Conformal coating is vital for protecting electronics from moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Yet many manufacturers don’t have the facilities or expertise to manage coating in-house. That’s where subcontract conformal coating services—sometimes called outsourced conformal coating—play a critical role. By partnering with a specialist provider like SCH Services, companies gain expert support, cost […]

Even the best Parylene coating cannot perform reliably if the surface beneath it is not properly prepared. Adhesion failures, delamination, and reduced barrier performance often trace back to poor substrate preparation. That’s why surface preparation is one of the most critical steps before Parylene deposition. Parylene is applied via vapor deposition, forming a thin, uniform […]

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is non-negotiable in industries such as electronics manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. For decades, two common approaches have dominated: molded ESD solutions (like carbon-filled boxes) and filler-based ESD paints. On paper, both seemed like effective answers. In practice, they’ve proven costly, inconsistent, and difficult to scale. At SCH Services, we […]

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a silent but costly threat in industries where sensitive electronics, packaging, and materials must be protected. Traditional anti-static coatings—temporary sprays, carbon fillers, or metal-based additives—have long been the default. But these solutions often degrade, deliver uneven performance, and drive up hidden costs due to constant reapplication. ProShield ESD changes that. It […]

When it comes to protecting sensitive electronics, medical devices, and mission-critical components, the choice of coating can define long-term performance. Two common options are Parylene coating and traditional conformal coatings such as acrylics, silicones, and urethanes. Each offers unique benefits, but which is right for your application? What Makes Parylene Different? Parylene is applied using […]

In modern electronics and high-reliability assemblies, one of the most overlooked yet critical steps is masking—protecting areas that should not be coated during the conformal coating process. Done poorly, masking becomes a bottleneck: misalignment, rework, and delays can cripple throughput. But with custom pre-cut masking shapes, you can turn that bottleneck into a breakthrough. The […]

In today’s high-tech world, static electricity is more than just a small spark—it’s a multi-million-pound risk. From advanced electronics manufacturing to medical devices, automotive systems, aerospace, and logistics, electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components, disrupt production, and threaten both safety and reliability. Effective static control has never been more critical. The Hidden Threat of Electrostatic […]

When it comes to protecting modern electronics and critical components, the greatest threats are often the ones you can’t see. Microscopic cracks, invisible moisture, and environmental contaminants all pose silent risks to performance and reliability. That’s where Parylene coating steps in—acting as an invisible shield that ensures long-term durability. The Power of Parylene Coating Unlike […]

Introduction: Why Parylene Stands Out When it comes to protecting electronic assemblies, manufacturers have many conformal coating choices — acrylics, silicones, urethanes, and epoxies. But when performance and reliability cannot be compromised, Parylene stands apart as the industry benchmark. At SCH Ltd, we are your complete one-stop partner for all Parylene needs. Unlike providers focused […]

The amount of solids content in a conformal coating is the amount of actual material available to be applied to the circuit board and that will protect the circuit board assembly. The more solids you have the more circuit boards you can coat. So, you want to have as many solids as possible per liter […]

Conformal coating is not simply a consumable material. Unfortunately, for too many designers, conformal coating is simply a part number, to be applied to circuit boards. However, this can be a major problem especially in the conformal coating production stage of the process. There are guidelines in the IPC standards that may help with Design […]

Normally, customers know if they require MIL-I-46058C qualification for their conformal coating. It normally is required if it is a military product. However, caution should be shown when examining conformal coating datasheets that state MEET the requirements of MIL-I-46058C since the conformal coating will likely not be on the Qualified Product List (QPL). What […]

What is ALD? Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) belongs to the family of Chemical Vapour Deposition methods (CVD). It is a deposition process at a nano-scale level within an enclosed vacuum chamber. The deposition process forms ultra-thin films (atomic layers) with extremely reliable film thickness control. This provides for highly conformal and dense films at extremely […]
