Advanced nanoGUARD™ coatings provide critical electronics applications with 3D protection from harsh electrical and environmental conditions.

actnano’s proven nanoGUARD technology delivers unsurpassed performance, reliability and manufacturing efficiencies without compromise.

// Coverage

100% 3D coverage with nanoGUARD viscoelastic, gel-state material

  • Horizontal and vertical surfaces
  • Undercoat large components (BGAs, etc)
  • Use on rigid or flexible substrates
  • No cracking or bubbling

// Reliability

Waterproof exceeding IPX7/8+

  • Protection from liquids, condensation, humidity, salt and more

Proven connect through coating capability

  • No/minimal masking required
  • Coat connectors and contacts
  • Maintain high speed signal integrity connections

// RF & Thermal

Coat heat sinks and antennas

  • No RF influence
  • Negligible thermal impact

// Efficiency

Lowest total solution cost

  • In-line processing, no cure time deposition
  • No ovens or other curing required
  • Use existing or standard equipment
  • Typically, ready within 30-60 seconds
  • Easy board rework and repair

// Compliance

Meets a broad list of environmental certifications and industry requirements

  • UL94 V-0 and UL94 5VA flammability rating
  • 100% safe materials
  • Lower manufacturing carbon footprint
