Reliable Electronics for the High Seas: Coated for Performance

In maritime and naval applications, electronics must endure some of the harshest conditions on Earth—salt spray, moisture, temperature swings, and vibration. At Newmatik, we offer high-quality PCB assembly backed by advanced coating options to ensure long-term reliability, even on open seas.

Your Requirements in Maritime and Naval Applications

• Corrosion Resistance: Protection against salt spray and seawater
• Moisture Protection: Electronics exposed to high humidity
• Temperature Cycling: -40°C to +85°C in marine environments
• Vibration Resistance: Constant mechanical stress from waves
• Long Service Life: 10-20+ years operational lifetime
• Mission Critical: Zero failure tolerance for navigation and safety systems

Protective Coatings for Harsh Marine Environments

To safeguard assemblies in corrosive and humid environments, we offer several proven coating solutions:

Peters Elpeguard SL 1307 FLZ/2

An acrylic-based conformal coating applied by hand, this solution offers excellent protection against moisture, dust, and corrosion. It's widely used in marine electronics due to its flexibility and strong adhesion to various surfaces.

Solbi PRM CT-UV (Replacement for 3M Novec 1700)

This fluorinated polymer is a fast-drying, ultra-thin coating ideal for high-reliability electronics. It's a 1:1 drop-in replacement for the now-discontinued 3M Novec 1700, providing robust protection without affecting thermal performance or reworkability.

Parylene Coating

For the most demanding applications, Parylene offers a pinhole-free, vacuum-deposited barrier that encapsulates the entire assembly. It delivers superior chemical and moisture resistance, making it ideal for mission-critical naval systems.

These coatings are applied based on the operational environment and customer requirements, ensuring that your maritime electronics perform reliably—whether in coastal operations or transoceanic deployments.

Application Areas

Navigation Systems: GPS, radar, sonar, autopilot electronics, chart plotters
