Introduction
From wearables and smartphones to EVs and medical devices, modern electronics are becoming smaller, more powerful—and more exposed. As form factors shrink and environmental demands grow, so too does the need for advanced protection.
Conformal coatings have emerged as a critical technology to safeguard these devices from moisture, contaminants, and mechanical stress—without compromising performance or design. At P2i, we’re leading this evolution with cutting-edge solutions tailored to today’s and tomorrow’s protection needs.
Why Conformal Coatings Are Essential
Conformal coatings form a thin, protective barrier over electronic circuits and components. This barrier prevents corrosion, short-circuits, and other failures caused by environmental exposure.
They are especially critical in industries like:
- Automotive
- Consumer electronics
- Medical devices
- Industrial IoT
- Aerospace and defense
Key Industry Drivers
- Miniaturization
As devices get smaller, traditional protection methods like seals and housings often fall short. Conformal coatings provide precise, space-saving protection, ideal for wearables, hearables, and compact PCBs. - Harsh Environments
Electronics increasingly operate in wet, dusty, or extreme-temperature environments. Conformal coatings provide reliable defense, even under high thermal and mechanical stress. - Sustainability Pressures
Manufacturers are under pressure to phase out hazardous substances like PFOA and PFAS. P2i is proud to offer PFAS-free, PFOA-free, and VOC-free options that align with global environmental mandates. - EV Growth
Electric vehicles demand highly reliable electronics. Conformal coatings protect power electronics, sensors, and control units from corrosion and failure. - Advanced Materials
New nano-engineered and plasma-applied coatings outperform traditional solutions—delivering longer lifespans and better performance.
Ongoing Challenges in the Market
- Adhesion to New Substrates
Modern device materials often present adhesion issues. Our R&D team works closely with manufacturers to optimize compatibility and coating performance. - Regulatory Complexity
Compliance with evolving chemical and safety regulations across multiple regions is challenging. P2i’s coatings are engineered to meet the strictest global standards. - Application Trade-offs
Dipping, spraying, and plasma coating each have pros and cons. P2i offers both liquid-based and PECVD gas-phase coatings, allowing for the best fit per use case. - Cost vs. Performance
While some high-performance coatings are more expensive, they offer far lower failure rates, scrap, and warranty costs—making them cost-effective long-term. - Long-Term Durability
Devices today must survive longer product life cycles. P2i coatings are tested under accelerated life conditions to ensure lasting performance.
