How to achieve Repeatable Conformal Coating Thickness

Achieving consistent conformal coating thickness is not an easy task. It requires a fair amount of training and skill. Below is an overview of three conformal coating application methods that result in repeatable thickness.

Selective coating robots: These coating machines are programmed by a user to perform a repeatable coating process, resulting in a consistent coating every time.

Dipping: Very accurate and repeatable coating thickness can be achieved with a dip coating machine. Every stage of the process is perfectly controlled from dipping and dwell times to withdrawal speed.

Hand spraying: With a high-quality spray gun, a spray booth and a skilled operator, a very reliable thickness can be accomplished. An expert hand-spraying application results in a desirable, uniform finish.

While there are many different ways to get a reliable and repeatable conformal coating thickness, most depend on a consistent processes and the operator’s skill level.
