Conformal Coatings

Product and Application Development

Dow Corning already manufactures a wide variety of coatings to meet the needs of most application and process situations. However, if you don't find an exact match for your needs, Dow Corning can work on a customized upgrade of one of our standard offerings. Some examples of how Fast Formulation can meet your exact needs include, but are not limited to, the following: modification of a products cure schedule, modulus, viscosity, or color; or add/remove an inert intermediate such as UV indicator - all in a timely manner.

We can produce coated boards or test patterns for early evaluation of a coating's protective abilities. Coatings will be applied simulating your own process of spraying, dipping or flow coating. We can also advise you from our extensive industry experience on the best methods and conditions for your process.

We have expertise to share on a wide range of testing to monitor quality, on specialized testing for trouble-shooting, or to simulate accelerated service conditions.

Material, Process and Equipment Integration

Over many years of providing materials for electronics protection, Dow Corning has developed strong alliances with key equipment suppliers worldwide. We have just launched the External Equipment Provider Alliance with nine leading companies, including PVA and Asymtek for conformal coatings. Save time and expense by taking advantage of these partnerships to insure the optimum integration of material and processing.

Or have our experts visit your facility or join us at one of our global application centers to work together on your material and processing needs. We can also provide seminars and training for your personnel to allow them to work more knowledgably. With material, process, and equipment integration solutions from Dow Corning, you can manufacture more modules and assemblies in less time, at less cost, with fewer shutdowns and fewer customer rejects
