Conformal Coating Processes Hub

The Conformal Coating Processes Hub is designed to guide engineers and manufacturers through every stage of PCB protection. From cleaning and masking to coating, curing, and inspection, each process step plays a critical role in long-term reliability. Therefore, by understanding best practices, following recognised standards such as IPC-A-610 and IPC-CC-830, and applying strong conformal coating process control, manufacturers can improve consistency, reduce rework, and achieve the quality levels required for aerospace, automotive, defence, and medical electronics.

Guides in the Conformal Coating Processes Hub

• The Importance of Viscosity in Process Control – Why viscosity monitoring is critical for film quality and defect prevention.
• Setting Up a Conformal Coating Production Line – Key steps and equipment to achieve a controlled and repeatable workflow.
• Conformal Coating Processes Overview – A broad introduction to common application methods and process variables.
• How to Select a Conformal Coating Material – Guidance on matching coating chemistries with performance and reliability needs.
• Conformal Coating Masking: Methods & Materials – Best practices for masking keep-out areas and using tapes, dots, and boots.
• Conformal Coating Curing & Drying – How curing profiles affect adhesion, reliability, and production throughput.
• Thickness Measurement Overview (Wet, Dry, Optical) – Techniques to confirm film thickness is within specification.
• Surface Preparation & Cleanliness for Reliable Coating – Cleaning methods and standards to ensure long-term protection.

Why Process Control Matters in Electronics Coating Methods

Conformal coating processes are highly sensitive to variables such as viscosity, cleanliness, and curing conditions. As a result, if these factors are not controlled, they can introduce coating defects, reduce long-term performance, and create expensive rework cycles. Furthermore, industries such as aerospace and defence demand strict compliance, making conformal coating workflow management even more essential. In contrast, when these parameters are well managed, this coating process guide provides structured knowledge that helps engineers maintain repeatability, optimise throughput, and meet reliability expectations.
