As a special protective coating, conformal coating is widely used in automotive electronics, industrial control modules, photovoltaic energy storage, power batteries, mechanical frequency conversion and other fields, and has the properties of moisture-proof, anti-static, high and low temperature resistance, mildew resistance, and salt spray resistance. However, many people remain skeptical about whether conformal coating is toxic. This article will explain this in the following article.
If you want to know whether conformal paint is toxic, you must first know the composition of conformal coating. The main components of conformal coating are resins, solvents, binders, additives, etc. Solvents are generally alcohols, and some solvents may contain some volatile organic compounds (commonly known as VOCs). Additives include auxiliary materials such as diluents and additives. These components can affect the health of the human body to a certain extent.
Although the solvents and additives of conformal coating may contain some harmful substances, the damage to human health caused by normal use can be controlled within an acceptable range. First of all, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation during the coating period to ensure air circulation and reduce the accumulation of harmful substances. At the same time, choose products with reliable quality, and use conformal coating in strict accordance with the instructions to reduce potential risks.
Therefore, although conformal coating contains certain harmful substances, the health hazards can be limited to acceptable safety as long as they are used rationally and properly ventilated. However, in order to protect the health of yourself and your family, it is still necessary to reduce the chance of exposure to harmful substances. Choose low-VOC products and use environmentally friendly conformal coatings.
To put it simply, conformal coating has limited harm to human health during normal use. However, in order to avoid potential dangers, it is still necessary to take some corresponding protective measures, such as good ventilation and choosing reliable quality products.
