Conformal coatings protect circuit boards from environmental damage like moisture, dust, and chemical exposure. These coatings form a protective layer that extends the life of printed circuit boards (PCBs) by shielding delicate components from contaminants that could lead to short circuits or reduced efficiency.

MG Chemicals offers a wide range of conformal coatings, while Versatile Spray Painting (VSP) provides expert application services, ensuring precision and reliability. This partnership delivers high-quality materials and professional application for long-lasting protection across industries.

Types of Conformal Coatings

MG Chemicals offers various coatings to meet different protection needs:

  • Acrylic: Easy to apply and repair, offering moisture resistance at a low cost. Available in liquid and aerosol formats.
  • Polyurethane: Known for flexibility and abrasion resistance, ideal for harsher environments with corrosive elements.
  • Silicone: Provides superior thermal protection and wide temperature range, suitable for extreme conditions.
  • Epoxy: Best for outdoor or high-impact environments, offering excellent chemical and abrasion resistance.
  • UV-Curable: Cures in seconds, perfect for high-volume production.
  • Alkid: Also referred to as dielectric coatings or insulating varnishes, this family of products offers electrical insulation for high-voltage applications.

Through their partnership, VSP ensures these coatings are applied efficiently and precisely.

Conformal Coating Application
