Recent Developments :

October 2021: Dow, Conformal Coatings Market Growth, on the lookout, has delivered DOWSIL CC-2588 Conformal Coating, a hearty, scraped spot safe silicone-based compound that safeguards printed circuit sheets and electronic parts against high dampness and erosion. This reliable silicone-based covering is totally scentless and has a low unstable natural compound substance. DOWSIL CC-2588 Conformal Coating fixes at room temperature for lower energy use, takes into consideration splashing for higher throughputs, and permits mechanized assessment gear to distinguish any voids in the conformal covering utilizing bright light (UV).

August 2023: Henkel Announces New Conformal Coating for Medical Devices: Henkel, a global leader in adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, announced the launch of its new LOCTITE 6090 Conformal Coating for medical devices. The new coating is said to be biocompatible and highly resistant to sterilization processes.

October 2021: Electrolube, a worldwide electro-synthetic substances firm that was as of late procured by MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions, uncovered plans to send off a novel conformal covering that would upset the hardware business. UVCLX, or UV Cure Coating Xtra, is a pivotal new bio covering that gets 75% of its natural material from sustainable sources.

October 2021 – Electrolube has recently unveiled its UV Cure Coating Xtra (UVCLX), which is a bio-based conformal coating. This organic product, made using only renewable matter, is completely unique to the whole industry. The lack of solvents in manufacturing makes it environmentally friendly. According to the company, this new product offers a high level of protection coupled with a fast turnaround time that none of its competitors can match.

January 2023, Dow Chemical Company launched dowablatives.com to serve as a resource for its clients in the aerospace and satellite markets who need DOWSIL protective silicone ablatives and the latest in material developments.

January 2023, in order to bring PlasmaGuardTM coating services within reach of more customers, Europlasma entered into a partnership with Specialty Coating Systems, a leading solution provider of conformal coatings. This will make the halogen-free PlasmaGuard coatings of Europlasma available across a wider range.

August 2022, Dymax signed an agreement with Electronic Coating Technologies for Parylene conformal coating services. From now on, such products will be used exclusively by Dymax’s defense, automotive, and aerospace clients.
