The conformal coating cures without ovens to form a tough, scratch-resistant surface.
DOWSIL™ CC-2588 Conformal Coating is a tough, abrasion-resistant silicone-based material that protects printed circuit boards (PCBs) and electronic components against high humidity and corrosion. Dow reports that this highly reliable silicone-based coating is virtually odorless and offers extremely low volatile organic compounds. The conformal coating cures at room temperature for reduced energy consumption, supports spraying for higher throughputs and enables automated inspection equipment to use ultraviolet light (UV) to identify any voids in the coating.
“Dow’s silicone-based conformal coatings can resist extremely harsh environments while supporting environmental sustainability and manufacturing productivity,” said Tong Wu, industrial electronics, global segment leader at Dow. “New DOWSIL™ CC-2588 Conformal Coating has an attractive balance of properties and is an important addition to our portfolio because it addresses customer needs and industry trends in PCB manufacturing and assembly.”
