Lightweight Wearable Coatings Proven to Protect Your Product in Harsh Environments
Wearable products enjoy popularity with consumers as advancements in sensors, battery life, and features escalate demand. Still, they are worn on the body and are therefore exposed to numerous hazards that can jeopardize their reliability.
Wearables Reliability Hazards
Wearables will likely face exposure to:
Water
Perspiration
Chemicals
Corrosive Sprays
Motion
Vibration
Reliable Design Challenges
Integrating seals or thick, conventional conformal coatings into wearables design can cause RF signal disruption as the bulky materials may interfere with connectivity. Additionally, as more processing gets packed into smaller spaces, constraints with legacy protection present themselves.
HZO Coatings for Wearables
Our coatings protect wearables from hazards common to their everyday environment. Unlike conventional conformal coating materials, Parylene is applied in a thin layer, facilitating RF signal transmittance. HZO coatings make it easy to design and produce competitive wearable products that can exceed expectations now and well into the future.
