Protective Coatings

Used to insulate, create grips, and color-code components, these coatings resist high temperatures, light abrasion, and corrosion.
Rubber coatings withstand salt and acids. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life of the coating. Apply topcoat to give coated surfaces a glossy finish that resists fading.
PVC plastic coatings can be used on nearly any surface, including rubber. They withstand salt, acids, alkalies, and gasoline. They also resist UV light, so they won’t lose their color when exposed to sunlight over long periods of time.
Coatings that cannot be sold outside of the United States do not meet product labeling requirements.
Primers and topcoats cannot be sold outside of the United States due to product regulations.
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Bacteria-Resistant Coatings

Prevent the growth of harmful and odor-causing bacteria, mold, and fungus on HVAC system components and hardware. These coatings contain silver, which inhibits the growth of mildew, mold, and fungus.
Acrylic coatings go on easily and dry quickly. They’re often used on railings, door handles, and other frequently touched surfaces.

Coatings for Electronics

Also known as conformal coatings, these coatings protect circuit boards and other electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Apply these coatings without needing a potting box or other container. You can remove them if necessary.
Acrylic and acrylic lacquer coatings are our thinnest option, so they’re the easiest to apply. They’ll also come off the easiest when you have to rework or repair your component—just use a solvent. These coatings dry in a day or less. Acrylic lacquer coatings dry in just 30 minutes, the quickest of our conformal coatings. They resist grease, oil, and alkalies. Ideal for metal parts, they prevent rusting. Along with circuit boards, they’re often used on batteries.
Silicone coatings protect components over a wide range of temperatures. They’re also the most flexible of our conformal coatings, so they won’t crack from vibration. However, they’re thicker than acrylic coatings, so they’re more difficult to apply and remove.
Silicone/acrylic coatings combine the flexibility and temperature resistance of silicone with the thinness of acrylic for easy application. Use them in the environments you’d use silicone coatings, such as high-vibration and high-temperature areas.
Urethane coatings are the best choice for harsh environments. They have the best chemical resistance in our offering, and they’re extra hard for the best resistance to scrapes. Plus, they won’t crack in low temperatures. However, they aren’t as flexible as silicone coatings, so they’re worse at handling vibration. They’re also harder to apply than acrylic coatings because they’re thicker.
Coatings with ultraviolet visibility show up under a black light, so you can easily check if you’ve applied them evenly.
Coatings that meet IPC-CC-830 are certified for use on circuit boards. Coatings that meet UL 94 V-0 have passed a test for flame retardance.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to VOC regulations.

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.
