This free eBook provides engineers and manufacturers with a comprehensive guide on how plasma surface treating technology improves bonding in various industrial applications.

During the 2024 FGIA Annual Conference, Technical Training Specialist Aaron Blom presented a session about the importance of surface preparation in the application of sealants and coatings.

The test kit includes all of the necessary equipment for assessing the level of soluble salts on blast-cleaned surfaces prior to coating.

Contaminated printed circuit board assemblies can lead to poor performance. Oils and flux residue can prevent proper adhesion of conformal coatings, while marking inks, adhesives, and other materials can cause PCB delamination, blistering, shorting, dendrite growth, and electrochemical migration. It is therefore critical to remove all leftover manufacturing contaminants and to do it in an environmentally sustainable way. 

Nordson Corp. recently announced that it will demonstrate its latest solutions for semiconductor packaging and electronics manufacturing at SEMICON Taiwan in Taipei.

We rely on electronics for almost every aspect of our daily lives. With the advent of compact components and circuitry, it is difficult to think of many products that do not incorporate electronics in some fashion. What you might not think about is how fragile these electronics can be and how they can become easily damaged or degraded by environmental conditions.

The global market for powder coatings is projected to expand in the coming years, potentially reaching $19.9 billion by 2027.¹ While the powder coating sector is poised for rapid growth, a prerequisite remains: getting the surface right.
