SHIN-ETSU SILICONES OF AMERICA, INC.: Conformal Coating for Printed Circuit Boards
Shin-Etsu Silicones of America, Inc. (SESA), a U.S. subsidiary of Japan-based Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., has launched its MR-COAT-01F and 02F conformal coating series. According to the company, the line features high hardness coupled with extremely high elongation for better abrasion resistance and less stress on printed circuit board (PCB) components.
Today’s PCB systems and printed wiring board (PWB) applications experience extreme stress on their wire bonds and circuitry components that can significantly reduce their usage life. The MR-COAT products are hard resin-based, one-component systems that do not use toluene as a solvent, making them suitable for protective coating for rigid and flexible PCB and PWB system applications.
