Conformal Coatings are available in various types, each with its unique properties and benefits. Some of the commonly used types include silicone, acrylic, urethane, and epoxy coatings. Silicone coatings offer excellent protection against moisture and chemicals and have a wide temperature range. Acrylic coatings are known for their optical clarity and ease of rework. Urethane coatings provide excellent resistance to abrasion and solvents. Epoxy coatings are renowned for their superior electrical insulation properties and high temperature resistance.

The application of Conformal Coatings is typically done through a spraying, dipping, or brushing process. Each method has its advantages depending on the specific requirements of the application. Spraying is commonly used for large-scale production, as it offers a fast and uniform coating over a large area. Dipping involves submerging the electronic assembly into a container filled with the coating material, ensuring complete coverage of all surfaces. Brushing is a manual application method suitable for small-scale or selective coating.
