Conformal Coating Services
Conformal Coating is a standard process that protects electronics from moisture, dirt ingress, oxidation, harsh temperatures and mould.
Fast-Turnaround Leading Conformal Coating Solutions
Together with our sister company PCB Train, we offer a quality, efficient and fast-turnaround sub-contract acrylic conformal coating service, providing the ability for an online quote and order. Our conformal coating service uses the latest 6-axis CNC technology and UV curing to help you extend your PCB’s working life. We offer a wide range of environmentally friendly materials to suit every application and ensure it maintains long-term surface insulation resistance (SIR) levels.
Our Conformal Coating Process:
- Preparation – To ensure the best adhesion, printed circuit boards are first treated to remove any potential contaminants such as dust and oils.
- Masking – Masking is carried out to stop the unintended coating of components which could affect functionality in the end product.
- Application – Conformal coating will either be applied by 6-axis CNC spray, or, for extremely low-volumes, by hand, using a brush or spray.
- Curing – The conformal coating is cured by a precise combination of heat and UV light.
- Inspection—While conformal coatings are crystal clear in daylight, they are clearly visible when illuminated by UV light, and this is how they are carefully inspected.
Our conformal coating process adheres to strict guidelines, starting with the paramount preparation of PCB assemblies for coating. Thus, we pre-treat and clean these before masking and coating to exceed the standards of IPC. The same level of rigour is applied to the entire conformal coating process, from masking and application to curing and inspection.
Why Choose the Newbury Group for Your Conformal Coating
We are the leading provider of 6-axis CNC-applied mask-less conformal coating services. This is a high-quality, computer-controlled and repeatable process.
The facility is entirely in-house, so conformal coating can seamlessly follow after inspection and test. The expense and quality risk associated with packing and unpacking when shipping to an outside conformal coating sub-contractor is avoided when using the Newbury Group and sister company PCB Train.
