Innovative Coating Solutions for Electronics: HZO’s Impact on UAVs and Robotics
HZO stands at the forefront of providing advanced conformal coating solutions designed to safeguard critical electronics and PCB assemblies in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and robotic systems.UST is thrilled to announce our partnership with HZO, and we will be showcasing their exceptional offerings and expertise across our platforms over the coming year.
Introducing HZO’s Supplier Profile
We are excited to unveil HZO’s supplier profile, meticulously crafted by our team in collaboration with HZO. This Silver profile highlights their innovative hydrophobic coatings,which are perfect for drone manufacturers and systems integrators aiming to boost the durability and performance of their products,even in the most challenging conditions. These coatings are also well-suited for large-scale manufacturing processes.
Advantages of HZO’s Coatings
HZO’s thin-film coatings present a lightweight alternative to conventional bulkier methods like potting, adding negligible weight to the assembly. This innovation results in highly dependable electronic systems without compromising SWaP (size, weight, and power) parameters, payload capacities, or flight durations.
Complete Protection Against Environmental Challenges
The conformal coatings from HZO shield sensitive electronics in drones and robotic systems from various environmental threats that can lead to shorts, corrosion, and other malfunctions. These threats include moisture, dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. HZO provides a diverse range of lightweight and ultra-thin protective coatings tailored to meet various operational demands.
Advanced Coating Techniques
Guardian parylene coatings are applied through a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process,creating a uniform,pinhole-free,and ultra-thin protective layer that envelops every edge and penetrates all spaces.These films typically range from 2 to 25 microns in thickness, offering robust protection against water damage, corrosion, and electrical failures while using considerably less material than traditional coatings.
Exceptional Properties of Parylene
Parylene boasts a range of highly beneficial characteristics, including outstanding dielectric performance, excellent abrasion resistance, superior chemical resistance, and minimal thermal expansion. Its low outgassing levels make it particularly suitable for applications in satellites and space technology.
Nanocoatings for Precision Protection
Sentinel plasma-applied nanocoatings offer protection at the molecular level, making them ideal for coating printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) as well as individual connectors and semiconductors. These economical hydrophobic coatings defend against a variety of liquids and gases while adhering to strict weight limits and precision thickness requirements.
Defender coatings: precision at the Nanoscale
HZO’s Defender coatings provide pinhole-free protective coverage at the nanometer scale, allowing for exceptional control over film thickness. They are particularly effective for complex 3D structures and surfaces that are challenging to coat uniformly with other technologies.
Robust Protection with Defender ALD Coatings
Defender ALD (atomic layer deposition) coatings utilize non-toxic materials and offer ultra-low moisture and gas permeability, even at elevated temperatures. They also provide strong protection against radiation, outgassing, and oxidation.
