Protection at lightning speed
Discover the cutting-edge innovation of UV and moisture dual cure silicone conformal coatings. With rapid UV curing and enhanced moisture cure in shadow regions, these coatings offer unmatched protection for electronic components. Explore how our solutions combine speed and reliability to elevate your electronic device protection.
Introducing DOWSIL™ CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings
DOWSIL™ CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings are exceptional silicone coatings that cure in seconds with broad spectrum UV or LED light, and span the range of low-to-high viscosities, enabling strong protection in a wide range of applications. This family of products is robust enough to protect even the most sensitive electronics components and is solventless ― enabling an eco-friendly environment for workers.
We’ve got you covered
DOWSIL™ CC-8000 Series Conformal Coatings come in a range of viscosities to help you meet all of your processing and application demands. Ideal for stability in harsh conditions, this award-winning product family provides excellent protection in highly humid environments and against contamination, and excellent flame retardancy and electrical properties. Offered in low-, medium-, and high-viscosity options, these coatings are suitable for the most sensitive electronic components in varied applications.
DOWSIL™ CC-8030 Conformal Coating
One-part, translucent, low viscosity, conformal coating with primary UV or LED curing and secondary moisture cure for shadow regions. Our low-viscosity silicone coatings support high-speed production methods, including manual or automated spraying, flow, or jetting techniques. These faster flowing materials are also suitable options when you want your coating to flow through vias or under chips. "Photo courtesy of ASYMTEK Products | Nordson Electronics Solutions"
DOWSIL™ CC-8033 Conformal Coating
One-part, translucent, medium viscosity, conformal coating with primary UV or LED curing and secondary moisture cure for shadow regions. Our medium-viscosity silicone coatings support high-speed production methods, including manual or automated spraying, flow, or jetting techniques as well as needle dispensing for damming or keep out regions or where thicker coating protection is required.
DOWSIL™ CC-8036 Conformal Coating
One-part, translucent, high viscosity, conformal coating with primary UV or LED curing and secondary moisture cure for shadow regions. Our high viscosity silicone coatings provide options to increase control over the speed and distance of flow, to prevent their spread into "keep out" areas. Our higher viscosity coatings also enables thicker coating layers in one pass.
Stability, Protection, and Increased Throughput
These one-part, translucent, conformal coatings with primary UV or LED curing and secondary moisture cure for shadow regions come in low, medium, and high viscosity. These viscosity variations offer full customization for your coating needs from spraying, to needle dispensing, or a combination of both for damn and fill. Look at these various coatings in action.
DOWSIL™ CC-8030 Conformal Coating Spray
CC-8030 is a low viscosity conformal coating designed specifically for spray coating.
DOWSIL™ CC-8033 Conformal Coating for Dam and Fill
CC-8033 is a medium viscosity conformal coating that can be sprayed and/or needle dispensed.

DOWSIL™ CC-8036 Conformal Coating Needle Dispense and DOWSIL™ CC-8033 Conformal Coating Spray
All DOWSIL™ CC-8000 series conformal coating are compatible with each other allowing different materials to be sprayed or dispensed and cured at the same time.
Electronics and systems
Shielding sensitive electronic components against harsh conditions is critical to ensuring reliable performance – whether targeting applications for extreme military or industrial use, automotive, computing or communications. Silicone gels, encapsulants and conformal coatings help improve the reliability and performance of complex or extremely delicate electronic components even in the most demanding environments.
Lighting
Silicone encapsulant and gel materials ensure reliable performance. With reliable thermal conductivity and relative thermal indexes reaching as high as 150°C, these materials ensure long-term reliability and lower lifetime costs for LED lamp and luminaire designs.
Conformal coatings protect circuit boards and LEDs, making them reliable and extending their service life. Dow’s proven coatings shield circuitry in severe LED service environments while reducing stress on components and connections – all with the added benefit of lower lifetime costs.
