Flexible coating. (Materials).


Silicoat is a one-part, flexible conformal coating Conformal coating material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes that if uncoated (non-protected) could result in a complete failure of the electronic system.  designed to protect printed circuit boards and other electrical assemblies. Silicoat may be applied by brush, dip or spray, and rapidly cures at room temperature to provide a coating with excellent moisture barrier, corrosion protection and insulation insulation (ĭn'səlā`shən, ĭn'sy–), use of materials or devices to inhibit or prevent the conduction of heat or of electricity.  properties. It is said to be ideal for rubber and most plastic substrates, as well as circuit board materials. Silicoat is said to exhibit excellent dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not  properties over a wide range of operating temperatures.
