Plasma Ruggedized Coating & Engineering Service Solutions
Plasma Ruggedized Solutions (or PRS) is a leading provider of parylene coating and related specialty engineering services. With more than twenty years of industry experience, PRS provides its customers with a highly responsive, quick-turn, multi-solution platform that consists of numerous variables including engineering support, lean manufacturing, first article design concepts, and high-volume commercial production operating cells. In addition, PRS has deep expertise in the following areas:
- Proprietary plasma technologies
- Application of conformal coatings
- Potting and encapsulation
- Epoxy compounds
Specialized Chemical Offerings
Due to PRS’s rapid throughput capabilities, we stock varying amounts of customer inventory, while providing target delivery windows unique to each customer’s specific needs. Our spectrum of chemical offerings includes, but is not limited to:
- Parylene (Polyparaxylylene) coatings
- Acrylics
- Silicones
- Polyurethanes
- Epoxies
- Various BGA underfill compounds
Conformal Coating Services
Conformal coatings are designed to form protective barriers over finished electronics assemblies, protecting them against extreme environments. One of the most important considerations for PCB conformal coating is ensuring the coating is compatible with your design goals.
Parylene Coating Services
Parylene coating is a vacuum deposition service that involves heating the solid parylene dimer to a vaporous gas state, then re-condensing into a film that deposits onto the target assemblies to be coated. PRS’s proprietarily-controlled parylene coating services feature multistage operator and inspection points to assure high first time yields.
Potting and Encapsulation
Potting and encapsulation services provide a high viscosity finish and more robust solution versus conformal coating. PRS’s electronic potting and encapsulation also provides advanced protection against harsh environments and potential security threats (FIPS Level 4 available)..
Plasma Etchback & Desmear Treatments
Plasma etchback and desmear treatments remove the residue created during the drilling and forming processes in the manufacturing of circuit boards. Plasma Etchback/Desmear processes are far more accurate than more traditional wet chemical processes, allowing for greater variation and tailoring of the entire process.
Green Operations & Quality Certifications
Plasma Ruggedized Solutions is an environmentally conscious organization that is focused on maintaining and enhancing its “green” operations. This is typified and characterized by an extremely low VOC output underscored by the conscious choice of chemistries and compounds that are environmentally friendly.
In addition, PRS touches at least sixteen industries and features multiple quality certifications including AS9100, ISO 9001:2008, NASA, and ITAR registered. PRS recently added parylene tumble coating capabilities, providing a complete suite of conformal coating options in the conformal coating industry.
