The revised conformal coatings handbook is designed to form a readily understandable, introductory guide focusing on the main issues of selecting a coating material and putting it into process.
Its objective is to present the salient facts in a succinct style rather than attempting to take the reader into a long and detailed scientific explanation.
HumiSeal believes that the need for such a guide has never been so great.
The global shortage of electronics engineers is drawing a steady stream of newcomers into the field.
In addition, the reliability-enhancing nature of conformal coatings has established itself as a highly effective way to combat the cost, not to mention reputation-damaging effects, of having to rectify field failures.
The use of conformal coatings becoming increasingly popular in many less traditional consumer and domestic applications, especially densely packaged portable electronics devices that can be susceptible to environmentally induced failures in the field.
Nonetheless, choosing the right coating material and application process can be very difficult and time-consuming for the uninitiated.
Without a sound overview of the subject and familiarity with the relevant standards and specifications, expensive and irreversible errors can easily be made.
