Plasma Ruggedized Production and Engineering Services – Midwest Region

Protecting sensitive applications from corrosion, contamination, and other environmental challenges is essential for their longevity and performance. Plasma Ruggedized Solutions (PRS) specializes in high-quality parylene coatings and a wide array of production and engineering services. With over 20 years of expertise, PRS is a trusted partner for industries throughout the Midwest.

Exceptional Parylene Coatings

Parylene coating services provide a high-performance protective layer that enhances the durability of vital components across industries. Using advanced vacuum deposition, PRS applies parylene coatings that are incredibly thin, uniform, and pinhole-free, penetrating even the tightest spaces to a thickness as low as 0.01mm.

Our parylene coatings are biocompatible, chemically inert, and FDA-approved for medical implants. Additionally, they meet NASA’s stringent Low Outgassing material requirements. These coatings adhere effectively to substrates such as metal, plastic, glass, elastomers, and more, offering excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation properties for critical applications.

Polyurethane PCB Coatings for Superior Protection

PRS provides single- and two-component polyurethane PCB coatings, each tailored to meet specific application needs. Single-component formulations offer an extended pot life, while two-component options deliver quicker curing times. Both types are easy to apply and provide robust protection against moisture, chemicals, and abrasion.

Polyurethane PCB coatings are particularly well-suited for aerospace applications or any environment where exposure to vapors and harsh conditions is a concern.

Electronic Potting Services Across the Midwest

Potting and encapsulation protect electronic assemblies from environmental and physical threats, ensuring consistent performance and extended product life. PRS offers potting services to guard against:

  • Shock and vibration
  • Corrosion and moisture
  • Dust and chemical contaminants
  • Tampering or reverse engineering

We handle everything from prototypes to full-scale production using materials like:

  • Epoxy coatings
  • Silicone coatings
  • Urethane coatings
  • Silicone potting & encapsulation
  • Acrylic coatings

Our electronic potting services are suitable for PCBs, electronic systems, electromechanical devices, and assemblies on a range of substrates, including steel, aluminum, and plastic.

Enhanced Circuit Board Reliability with BGA Underfill

PRS offers manual and automated Ball Grid Array (BGA) underfill services to improve circuit board assembly reliability. Our process identifies sensitive components needing underfill and applies the most appropriate material, including our proprietary Kronos-10 solution.

BGA underfill enhances protection against heavy vibration, harsh environmental conditions, and thermal stresses. It is a valuable solution for electronics in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical technology.

Plasma Etching Treatments for Improved PCB Performance

Residual resin from drilling processes can compromise PCB performance. PRS provides advanced plasma etching treatments, including plasma desmear and plasma etchback, to remove resin deposits and promote reliable electrical connections.

Additional plasma treatments include:

  • Removal of fluorine and other elements
  • Gold activation
  • Carbon removal

These processes ensure the highest performance standards for PCBs and other electronic components.
