There are many reasons for an acrylic conformal coating being the most popular protective film for electronic circuit boards in the world.
Acrylic conformal coatings have the following features:
- Acrylic coatings provide an excellent barrier to moisture and humidity providing one of the highest levels of protection possible
- They are one of the lowest cost coatings to purchase
- They have minimal chemical resistance making it ideal for reworking and removal
- Acrylic conformal coatings can be soldered through with minimal problems
- Acrylics dry to the touch very quickly and typically cure much faster than most coatings.
- They can be easily applied with a brush, sprayed by aerosol, spray gun or robot or by dipping.
Acrylic conformal coatings are generally the main choice in the majority of conformal coating applications.
