FROM SLIP TO GRIP I'LL PROTECT YOU.

I’m thin for aesthetic reasons, but my properties and protection are huge. Spray me on, and I’ll add a softer touch, enhanced texture, or improved grip to virtually any surface. I’m changing the face of products everywhere.
bullet 01 USAGE
Conformal Coatings are currently used in automotive electrical components for reliable protection in harsh environments. Design concepts include: targeted surface enhancement (plastics, metal) in boating, sport vehicles and aerospace.
bullet 02 AESTHETIC PROPERTIES
Transparent or readily pigmented, Conformal Coatings can range soft, flexible and gripping to tougher, more abrasion resistant. Coatings may be thin to thick.
bullet 03 MATERIAL PERFORMANCE
Conformal Coatings offer excellent coating integrity, color retention and dimensional stability. They provide excellent protection from moisture, contamination (dust, dirt) and extreme temperatures (-45 to 200°C).
bullet 04 PROCESSING
Conformal Coatings are one or two part products that can be manually or automatically applied by spraying, dipping, brushing or needle dispensing. Cure times and conditions vary (room temperature, moisture, heat accelerated). They are available in various viscosities, can be easily handled (tack free versions) and reworked. Some surfaces may require priming.
bullet 05 SUSTAINABILITY
Conformal Coatings are generally non-toxic, contain no heavy metals and extend the product life of a coated device. Solventless and low VOC variations are available. Room temperature cure reduces energy consumption.
bullet 06 COST
Conformal Coatings offer comparable benefits to high performance organic polymers with a lower total cost of ownership due to ease of processing and, depending on the application, reduced warranty costs.
