Ensuring high integrity conformal coatings on flexible PCBAs, that delivers a low cost solution whilst maintaining high reliability at the manufacturing level has been proven using ultra-thin plasma coatings.
Current Issues
Corrosion protection conformal coatings that meets the industry trends of product miniaturization, reducing cost structure, reliability throughout use, newer form factors and materials and ability to seamlessly integrate to assembly lines with low network latency.
Must meet environmentally sustainable measures including use of green-chemistries (PFAS-free) and delivered solutions must allow the product to be re-worked during and post manufacture whilst allowing repair and battery replacement to reduce e-waste and increase sustainability.
Differentiation from Incumbent Solutions
Ultra-thin coatings fit everywhere, much smaller than gaskets, tape, glue as they work at the molecular level.
The fundamental approach allows repairability, less assembly test and reduced scrap.
Permits full repairability and re-work where required, impossible with parylene coatings, whilst meeting all chemical regulations. Our barrier coating is 100% halogen-free.
Provides full protection to devices that are conventionally difficult to seal due to material and design constraints – unleashing novel designs and use of attractive materials to create differentiation.
P2i's Solution
Splash-proof prevents liquid ingress into the treated device. Barrier Coating prevents any corrosion damage to the board should liquids get forced into the treated devices in such events that mimic >IPx2 forces. Examples of which are stronger sprays of liquids, immersions and heavy sweating environments.
Full operational capability to deliver end-to-end solutions for masking, protective coating treatment and de-masking to deliver to specific product requirements.
In addition to our Splash-proof offering protecting devices from liquid ingress, there is no change to the microphones or audio quality; fully differentiating from any other known coating technology from any supplier.
