Our Conformal Coating Consultancy Services

Troubleshooting

Rapid, expert support for issues with adhesion, coverage, contamination, or curing. We quickly identify root causes and deliver corrective actions that reduce downtime, scrap, and costly rework. All troubleshooting includes compliance checks against IPC-A-610, IPC-CC-830, and ISO 9001, ensuring corrective actions align with global standards.

Process Optimisation

We improve throughput, repeatability, and yield through process tuning, equipment calibration, and material compatibility checks. Optimisation ensures consistent results and includes validation and documentation support to help you meet regulatory and customer requirements.

Benchmarking

SCH benchmarks your processes against IPC, ISO, and industry best practices. We highlight strengths and uncover improvement opportunities, providing measurable quality and efficiency targets. Benchmarking reports are tailored for high-reliability sectors such as aerospace, defence, medical, and automotive electronics.

New Product Introduction (NPI)

Smoothly integrate conformal coating into new product launches. From material selection to application method choice, SCH ensures right-first-time implementation. Our consultancy provides specialist guidance for complex PCB assemblies, helping you avoid costly delays and rework.
