Harsh Environment Coatings for Electronics
High humidity, harsh chemicals, water submersions, and salt are no match for these electronic coatings. They also resist UV light, so they’ll work outdoors. Use them on circuit boards, sensors, and LED drivers in heavy machinery. Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely.
PVDF coatings are more flexible than epoxy coatings. They’re IPC certified for use on circuit boards. You can also use them to protect against corrosion on metal joints. To apply, brush or spray them on, or dip your components in.

Optically Clear Coatings for Electronics
Protect LEDs, solar cells, and fiber optics with a coating that’s clear enough to see through. These coatings let optimal light pass through and repel dust and moisture, so they won’t distort your view of what’s underneath. Made of silicone, they won’t cloud in hot, humid environments. That means they’re great for use outdoors, such as on signs and instrumentation panels. Also known as conformal coatings, these coatings are thinner than potting compounds, flowing into the smallest contours on your device to cover it completely. Silicone conformal coatings are the most flexible kind of conformal coating, so they won’t crack or peel from vibration. To protect sensitive equipment, these coatings also prevent static discharge.
Simply spray these coatings on your device without needing a potting box or other container. Since they cure at room temperature, you won’t need UV lights or cure ovens either. You can remove them if necessary.
These coatings are IPC certified for use with circuit boards. They also meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. They cannot be sold in California due to local regulatory limits on VOCs.

High-Temperature Coatings for Electronics
Even in furnace-like heat, these coatings protect your electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They withstand temperatures up to 270° higher than standard silicone coatings while remaining flexible enough to not crack and peel from vibration. Whether your circuit board is in a hot, humid shop or inside heavy machinery that heats up and vibrates, these coatings keep it protected. Made of silicone, they won’t cloud from humidity.
Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Simply spray these coatings on your device without needing a potting box or other container. They contain a UV indicator, so you can use a blacklight to check if they’ve been applied evenly. You can remove these coatings if necessary.
These coatings are IPC certified for use with circuit boards. For flame retardance, they meet UL 94 V-0. They cannot be sold in California or outside North America due to regulatory limits on VOCs.
