UV Conformal Coating for Advanced PCB Protection

Lencolo 2026-01-26 23
Reliable Protection for Modern Electronics

UV Conformal Coating is engineered to protect printed circuit boards (PCBs) with assembled electronic components. After application, it forms a thin and uniform protective layer that shields circuits from moisture, mold, salt spray, and chemical corrosion, ensuring stable performance even in harsh environments.

Enhanced Electrical Safety and Stability

By isolating solder joints and conductors from external contaminants, the coating significantly improves insulation performance, reduces the risk of short circuits, and helps suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), extending the service life of electronic assemblies.

Multiple Industry-Recognized Names

UV Conformal Coating is also known as PCB conformal coating, three-proof coating, insulating varnish, protective coating, electronic coating material, or moisture-resistant coating, and is widely accepted across the electronics manufacturing industry.

Why Choose UV Dual-Cure Conformal Coating

Zero VOC for Sustainable Manufacturing

Traditional solvent-based coatings contain high levels of VOCs, releasing harmful emissions during curing. UV dual-cure conformal coatings feature 100% solid content with zero VOC emissions, making them an environmentally responsible choice that complies with modern green manufacturing standards.

Faster Curing, Higher Productivity

Unlike conventional coatings that require hours to fully cure, UV dual-cure systems achieve surface drying and initial curing within seconds under UV light. This dramatically increases production throughput and supports high-speed automated manufacturing lines.

Lower Energy Consumption and Operating Costs

UV curing requires significantly less energy than thermal baking processes. Reduced power consumption, combined with minimal equipment maintenance, helps manufacturers lower long-term operating costs.

Complete Curing in Shadowed Areas

The dual-cure mechanism combines rapid UV curing with moisture-activated post-curing. While exposed areas cure instantly under UV light, hidden zones such as connector bases and component gaps continue to cure through ambient moisture, ensuring complete and reliable protection.

Stable Performance Across Wide Temperatures

Designed for demanding applications, UV conformal coatings maintain stable performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 130°C, meeting the requirements of most electronic products.

Flexible Application Processes

Brush Coating for Precision Control

Brush coating is ideal for small batches and detailed work. Using natural fiber brushes ensures smooth, even coverage on flat PCB surfaces with minimal material waste.

Spray Coating for Scalable Production

Spray coating is suitable for both maintenance tasks and large-scale production. Proper control allows for uniform coverage, though careful operation is required to avoid shadowing under components.

Dip Coating for Full Coverage

Dip coating ensures complete and uniform film formation over the entire PCB surface, eliminating missed areas while reducing material waste caused by overspray.

Selective Coating for High-Volume Manufacturing

Selective coating delivers precise application only where needed, maximizing material efficiency and consistency. It is ideal for mass production but requires advanced automated equipment.

Key Application Guidelines

Thorough Surface Preparation

Cleaning and pre-baking remove moisture, dust, and oils from PCB surfaces, ensuring optimal adhesion and coating performance. Applying the coating while the board is still warm improves coverage and bonding.

Controlled Film Thickness

Maintaining a coating thickness between 0.1 and 0.3 mm ensures effective protection without affecting component functionality or heat dissipation.

Proper Material Handling

Fully mixing the coating and allowing it to stabilize before use helps achieve consistent viscosity and coating quality, whether applied manually or through automated systems.

Moisture Curing Technology Explained

Chemical Reaction for Deep Curing

Moisture curing is driven by the reaction between isocyanate (-NCO) groups and water molecules. This process forms a crosslinked network that strengthens the coating from the inside out, especially in areas not reached by UV light.

Optimized Environmental Conditions

Curing performance depends on temperature and humidity. For best results, coating operations should be conducted at temperatures above 16°C and relative humidity below 75%.
