The picture above illustrates, one PCB (left) which does not have coating applied to it. On the other hand, the PCB to the
right has conformal coating applied and therefore, it is protected from mold, mildew, fungus, and harsh tropical environments. GarrettCom uses
the Dow Corning 1-2620 Low VOC RTV Coating, a more environmentally
friendly silicone elastoplastic coating.
Conformal coating (sometimes also known as "tropical treatment") is an option on all Magnum Industrial
networking products, except it is a standard feature of the Links product.
For additional protection against corrosive gases and salt-spray
atmospheres, an extra-thick silicone conformal coating is offered as
an option on GarrettCom's Oil, Gas, and Petroleum (OGP) products.
Where a 5-mil silicone conformal coating is appropriate for high
moisture faciliities such as water treatment plants, heavy-duty
8-mil has been shown to be necessary for
more corrosive environments. Military applications
and standards such as MIL-I-46058C confirm the efficacy of
heavy-duty silicone conformal coating for electronic equipment to
protect against highly corrosive gaseous hydrocarbons.
