Description
An uninterrupted coating that assumes the exact form or shape of the object. Most conformal coatings are capable of imparting hydrophobicity and oleophobicity for a wide variety of substrates and are designed for multi-surface treatment on metals, polymers, and semiconductors to offer protection from corrosion, chemicals, and moisture. One example is a vapor deposited coating of Parylene. Recent additions, such as Nanoproof and Vitroguard are available as solution-based coatings that can be dip or spray applied and requires little to no masking.
