During the 2024 FGIA Annual Conference, Technical Training Specialist Aaron Blom presented a session about the importance of surface preparation in the application of sealants and coatings.
It is critical to sustainably remove all manufacturing contaminants during printed circuit board assembly to ensure the proper adhesion of conformal coatings.
Contaminated printed circuit board assemblies can lead to poor performance. Oils and flux residue can prevent proper adhesion of conformal coatings, while marking inks, adhesives, and other materials can cause PCB delamination, blistering, shorting, dendrite growth, and electrochemical migration. It is therefore critical to remove all leftover manufacturing contaminants and to do it in an environmentally sustainable way.

Blown ion plasma and flame plasma are effective and repeatable treatment methods that take the guesswork out of electronics manufacturing bonding processes.
We rely on electronics for almost every aspect of our daily lives. With the advent of compact components and circuitry, it is difficult to think of many products that do not incorporate electronics in some fashion. What you might not think about is how fragile these electronics can be and how they can become easily damaged or degraded by environmental conditions.
A new category of abrasives is providing options to mitigate powder coating challenges relating to surface prep material performance, environmental profile, and production economics.
The global market for powder coatings is projected to expand in the coming years, potentially reaching $19.9 billion by 2027.1 While the powder coating sector is poised for rapid growth, a prerequisite remains: getting the surface right.

December 7, 2020
Our most popular feature articles of the year span a range of topics, including the world’s leading adhesives and sealants manufacturers, adhesives in automotive applications, various ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic, and myriad raw materials innovations.
Third-party coating, adhesive, and sealant providers benefit greatly from the rigorous testing standards required by their manufacturing partners. While this is a widely adopted norm, the best practice in testing procedures involves incorporating additional quality control and testing standards beyond those requirements.
