NanoProof PCB water and oil protection products provide surface modification technology; treat printed circuit board to be repellent to water and/or oil, while maintaining functionality. Surface treatments are no-mask, solution-based hydro/oleophobic coatings done on an inline basis; deliver benefits of conformal coatings and avoid bottlenecking batch process. Offer range of PCB waterproofing solutions from protecting against accidental water damage (NanoProof 1.0) to IPX7, immersion in water at 1m depth for 30 min. (NanoProof 3.0,3.5,4.0), to barrier properties that can withstand 100 hr. immersion in sweat solutions, and test methods developed for non-hermetic components (NanoProof 5.0) . Electrical connections are not impacted; integrity of signal strength, antenna and acoustic performance remains intact. Use a mix of Proprietary Transition Metal Complexate technology and fluorinated acrylic polymers to be compatible with common material types used in SMT parts.  Are sprayable or dip-based coatings; do not require a cure and reportedly have no impact on conductivity testing. Are available with UV tracer dye.
