Technical Insights | Conformal Coating, Parylene & ProShieldESD

Welcome to SCH Technical Insights β€” a collection of practical observations, lessons learned, and clarifications drawn from real-world work in conformal coating, Parylene deposition, and ProShieldESD conductive-polymer solutions.

These posts are intended to help engineers and manufacturers spot issues earlier, understand likely root causes, and apply better process control. They are supporting insight rather than definitive reference guidance.

Why Conformal Coating Wicks Along Wire Strands β€” A Field Observation - During inspection of coated assemblies, we occasionally observe conformal coating creeping along exposed wire strands well beyond the intended coated area. This is often flagged as β€œover-application”, but…
Masking-related defects causing coating ingress and poor boundaries on PCB assemblies Why Masking Is the Leading Cause of Conformal Coating Defects - When conformal coating defects appear in production, the first response is often to adjust coating parameters such as viscosity, spray settings, cure profiles, or even material selection. In…

Why do so many conformal coating problems appear β€œrandom”? - Why Conformal Coating Problems Often Appear Random β€” And Why They Aren’t In most cases, they aren’t random at all β€” they are symptoms of a process that…
Universal ProShieldESD conductive polymer coating tested live at Productronica 2025 across multiple substrates ProShieldESD – Productronica 2025 Technical Report - ProShieldESD – The World’s First Universal, Fully Functional ESD Coating ProShieldESD is a filler-free conductive polymer ESD coating (often described as an β€œESD paint” due to its ease…
Why Parylene Dimer Purity Defines Coating Performance - Clean chemistry, flawless coatings Behind every reliable Parylene coating lies the dimer β€” a crystalline, purified precursor that drives the entire deposition process. Parylene dimer purity is the…
Conformal coating masking methods to prevent coating defects, leakage and rework Masking Made Easy – 3 Ways to Reduce Defects in Conformal Coating - Masking is one of the simplest steps in conformal coating β€” and one of the most common causes of defects, rework and customer complaints when it goes wrong.…
Hands-on Parylene conformal coating training covering deposition, masking and inspection Training, Trust & Technology – The SCH Way of Working - At SCH Services Ltd, we believe that excellence doesn’t happen by chance. It’s builtβ€”carefully, consistently, and collaborativelyβ€”through three key pillars: training, trust, and technology. In the high-precision world…
How the Vaniman ProBlast 3 ESD Cuts Conformal Coating Rework Time in Half - Rework is an unavoidable part of conformal coating and Parylene processing. Components get missed during masking, test points need exposing, defects appear after inspection, or engineering changes require…
5 Industries Benefiting from Parylene Coating Technology - Parylene coating applications are now recognised as one of the most advanced protective solutions for electronics, sensors, medical devices and precision components. Applied through chemical vapour deposition (CVD),…
