The Benefits of Acrylic Conformal Coating

March 3, 2021

Acrylic conformal coatings are a commonly used conformal coatings. Acrylics’ main benefits include its physical properties, convenient cure time and low cost.

Acrylic conformal coatings are extremely user friendly, allowing for the ease of application either by brush, dip or spray. Additionally, acrylics typically offer the fastest cure time in comparison to other liquid coatings. Acrylics have excellent physical properties and are fungus resistant. They provide longer than average pot life and excellent moisture protection.

The coating’s rapid cure time is directly related to its lower cost. Conformal coating cost is generally driven by labor. Because the acrylic coating process typically takes less time than other conformal coatings, it is less labor intensive, resulting in a lower cost.

Acrylics offer easy application and rework, low cost and rapid turnaround. These benefits, in addition to its great physical properties, make acrylic conformal coating an excellent choice.
