Common Conformal Coating Defects and How to Prevent Them
Conformal coating defects can compromise reliability and long-term performance in electronic assemblies. This article explains what defines a coating defect, highlights common issues such as bubbling, cobwebbing, orange peel, delamination, and cracking, and explores the underlying process and material causes behind each. Learn how to identify these defects, understand why they occur, and determine when rework is necessary to ensure consistent, high-quality conformal coating results.
