How Hardware Startups Use Conformal Coating for Reliability
In this episode of Hardware Startups with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into how conformal coating—a thin protective layer applied to circuit boards—can dramatically improve reliability in harsh environments. They walk through a real example: a startup building outdoor IoT sensors that faced corrosion failures until they switched to acrylic conformal coating. The discussion covers the three main coating types (acrylic, silicone, polyurethane), when to use each, and how to think about cost versus protection. They also touch on the application methods—spray, dip, and selective coating—and why…
