SCS has announced the expansion of its PlasmaGuard™ nanocoating portfolio for electronics components and devices.

Specialty Coating Systems (SCS) has announced the expansion of its portfolio with the environmentally-friendly PlasmaGuard™ coatings, that can be applied through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process (PECVD). The halogen-free and ultra-thin conformal PlasmaGuard nanocoatings have been specifically developed to provide splash-proof or waterproof moisture protection to a wide range of consumer electronics components and devices.

The company has recently signed a partnership with Europlasma NV, an international supplier of low-pressure plasma nanocoating technologies based in Belgium, which has developed a new range of halogen-free coatings. Over the past years, both players have worked closely together to enable PECVD coating capabilities within the sites of Specialty Coating Systems.

“For over 5 decades, SCS has provided customers with industry-leading coating services and technologies. Considering that mission, we continue to evaluate opportunities that bring new materials and services to help our current and future customers innovate and be successful. Through this new relationship with Europlasma, we are pairing industry-leading plasma-enhanced conformal coating technology and expertise with SCS’ industry-leading coating service and applications experience, providing customers additional coating options to meet the unique needs of their products,” has declared Tim Bender, the CEO of Specialty Coating Systems. “SCS is pleased to offer PlasmaGuard coatings along with our Parylene, liquid, ALD and multilayer coating options.”

“Europlasma has been developing and finetuning plasma surface treatment and coating solutions and the systems to apply these solutions for over 30 years. We are excited to have found in SCS a global partner that will provide contract coating services for Europlasma PlasmaGuard coatings to allow customers to achieve the highest performance and protection for their products, with the lowest environmental footprint. SCS is pleased to offer PlasmaGuard coatings along with our Parylene, liquid, ALD and multilayer coating options,” has concluded Tim Beulens, the CEO of Europlasma.
