As technology evolves and shrinks, circuit boards and electronic components need protective coating to remain safe. These coatings protect devices from environmental elements that can cause early failure. The right conformal coatings provide these protections while maintaining a smooth surface and an aesthetic finish. They are often applied in various methods such as dipping, brushing or spraying. A few conformal coating chemistries on the market are: Acrylics, Polyurethanes, Silicone and Epoxy. Each material has its own chemical and physical properties and provides a different level of protection. For example, a silicone conformal coating offers abrasion resistance and durability in high temperature environments. It also has good moisture and humidity resistance.
Market Dynamics:
The conformal coatings market is growing at a rapid pace due to the advancements in technology and increasing demand for advanced electronic devices. The market is primarily driven by the rise in the demand for durable electronic devices and growth in automation systems across end use industries. These coatings are used to protect the printed circuit boards from corrosion, moisture, heating, and other environmental factors. Moreover, they offer improved electrical conductivity to ensure better functionality of the electronics.
However, decline in automotive industry is expected to hamper the market growth.
