Conformal coatings are materials that are applied in thin layers (0.002 to 0.005 inch) on electronic substrates to provide environmental and mechanical protection. These coatings protect and cover printed circuit boards (PCBs) and other electrical components from harsh environmental conditions such as moisture, dirt, abrasion,fungus, chemicals, mechanical stress, shock, and vibration, thereby extending their working life.The most common methods of application of the conformal coating in electronics include spraying, brushing, dipping, vapor deposition, and selective coating. Selective coating through robots is used when the complexities on the circuit board must be

coated.
