An acrylic coating known as HumiSeal 1B31
is a quick drying and flexible coating that
can resist moisture, it can also include a
UV tracer that can help with final inspec-
tion. The coating can be applied as a spray,
by submerging the board in a bath or as
a flow coating; however it is applied, the
final coating measures on average 3mm in
depth and (as the name implies) conforms
to the contours of the board. Other coatings
available include epoxy, urethane, paraxylene
and silicon-based coatings. The wide range
of ADLINK Extreme Rugged products have
all relevant industry certifications up to
MIL-I-46058, ISO-7637 and IPC-CC-830, and
meet the applicable EMC, safety and envi-
ronmental standards for rugged solutions in
markets such as networking and communica-
tions, automation and process control, test and
measurement, security and even gaming. The
design service provided extends to individual
semi- and full-custom design, as well as using
stackable modules to create bespoke solutions
that are fully supported by off-the-shelf stan-
dard products, with long lifecycles and often
lower costs. The customized approach includes
peripherals and interfaces, as well as offering an
assured and future-proof upgrade path. Finally,
the Extreme Rugged products are also sup-
ported by lifecycles that exceed seven years.
