Nanofics 120 and 110 fluoropolymer-type conformal nanocoatings are water- and oil-repellent. Nanofics 120 coatings are deposited by low pressure plasma technology. Both are free from PFOA and PFOS. Can be applied on printed circuit board, on electronic components, on subassemblies, or on entire device. If applied on subassembly or device level, they provide protection against ingress from water or other liquids. If applied on component level or on PCB, they provide protection against corrosion from aggressive environments such as sweat or salt mist. Can be applied on rigid and flexible substrates.

Loctite TAF thermal absorbent films reportedly lower CPU and skin temperature of handheld devices by more than 3°C. Can absorb, spread, insulate and dissipate thermal energy generated by ICs. Create airflow route through which hot air can move out of device. Regulate heat and management of CPU temperature rise and fall. Are available in customized, pre-cut sizes and thicknesses. Film thickness and layer constructions can be adapted to create thinner or thicker solutions with multi-axis contourability.
