Conformal Coating Masking Tapes
Reliable PCB protection for conformal coating processes
At SCH Technologies, we supply a complete range of conformal coating masking tapes designed to deliver clean, reliable results without damaging your boards. Trusted worldwide and proven in our own global conformal coating services, our masking tapes help you achieve consistent protection at the lowest total cost.
Why Choose SCH Masking Tapes?
When it comes to conformal coating, the quality of your masking materials directly impacts the reliability of your finished assemblies. Many generic tapes are not designed for the demands of coating processes, which can result in unnecessary rework, higher costs, and reduced product quality.
That’s why SCH masking tapes have been developed and tested in real production environments — including our own global coating services — to guarantee performance where it matters most.
Why SCH Masking Tapes Outperform Generic Alternatives
Problems with Generic Masking Tapes ❌
- Coating de-wetting and poor surface coverage
- Adhesive residues left behind after removal
- Bleeding or leakage of coating under the tape
- Weak adhesion or tearing during removal
Benefits of SCH Conformal Coating Masking Tapes ✅
- Fully compatible with all major conformal coating chemistries (solvent-based acrylics, silicones, polyurethanes, UV-cure)
- Strong, consistent adhesion throughout the coating and curing process
- Peel away cleanly without leaving sticky residues or requiring rework
- 100% silicone-free, preventing de-wetting and ensuring reliable surface coverage
By choosing SCH, you eliminate the risks associated with generic tapes and gain reliable, cost-effective masking solutions that improve yield, reduce rework, and keep your coating process under control.
Types of Conformal Coating Masking Tapes
We provide two high-performance tape formats to suit different PCB masking applications:
- Crepe Masking Tape – Ideal for masking connectors, leads, and irregular shapes
- Silicone-Free Flat Tape – Designed for PCB edges, grounding planes, and flat sections
By combining both tape types, you gain a versatile, high-quality masking system that reduces rework and increases process reliability.
Why Use the Right Conformal Coating Masking Tapes?
Using the correct masking tapes in your conformal coating process is essential to product quality and reliability. Masking ensures that coating is applied only where it is needed, protecting keep-out areas such as connectors, test points, and sockets. By doing so, it prevents coating migration, reduces the risk of electrical failures, and guarantees that sensitive components remain fully functional after processing.
Choosing the wrong masking tape can lead to serious problems, including adhesive residues, coating leakage, poor adhesion, or de-wetting. These issues not only increase rework time but also raise the risk of field failures, which can damage customer trust and add to long-term costs. That is why using tapes specifically designed for conformal coating applications is critical.
