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.
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 in a bottle come with a brush for touch-ups.
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.

Component-Concealing Coatings for Electronics
Hide proprietary information on electrical components while also protecting them from moisture, dust, and static. All it takes is a single thin layer of these black coatings. They’re often used to protect custom parts while prototyping. Place them under a UV curing lamp to fully harden them in just 5 seconds. Made of urethane, they resist chemicals and scratches and won’t crack in low temperatures. That means they’re great for harsh environments. These coatings meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.
Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours to cover your parts completely. They also don’t require a potting box or other container. Dispense these coatings with a gun (sold separately).
