Conformal coating is an essential service for companies that design and manufacture electronic systems for applications in environments with high moisture content, such as systems deployed offshore for the oil and gas industry.
The service is also of particular interest to companies supplying electronics into applications that are susceptible to environmental degradation, including electronics used in the military, aerospace, medical and automotive markets.
Indro Mukerjee, CEO says: 'The conformal coating service further establishes C-Mac's focus on leading the way in high-reliability electronic systems, modules and components for the automotive, medical, communications, offshore and aerospace industries'.
'Providing a high quality conformal coating service in the UK is rare, combined with our expertise in manufacturing high reliability electronics, we believe we are uniquely positioned to provide a testing service of the highest quality'.
The conformal coat service joins C-Mac's wide range of ISO17025 accredited test methods including temperature cycle and thermal shock; high humidity; salt mist and salt corrosion; high and low temperature storage; and insulation resistance.
