SCS Conformal Coatings: Providing critical aerospace and defense missions with reliable protection.

From ocean depths to space exploration and everywhere in between, SCS conformal coatings have provided aerospace and defense applications with the mission-critical protection they demand. Specified for over 50 years, our coating solutions continue the mission of reliability.

SCS’ lightweight coating solutions are ideal for weight-sensitive components in aircraft, space probes and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). Conformal coatings are often relied on to protect electronics and components from moisture, fumes and dust in the harshest environments. Even chemical and biological agents, and subsequent decontamination processes, are no match for the environmental defense SCS coating solutions provide.

Component repair flexibility

If you need to repair a board coated by SCS, the coating can be removed through various methods depending on the coating type. Often times, areas where coating has been removed can be recoated to its original specifications. For more information, visit Conformal Coating Removal for Board and Component Repair.
