Nordson Electronics Solutions Enables Seamless Integration of Actnano PFAS-Free Coatings With Asymtek Select Coat Conformal Coating Systems
September 23, 2025 | Nordson Electronics SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nordson Electronics Solutions, a global leader in reliable electronics manufacturing technologies, announces full compatibility of its industry-leading ASYMTEK conformal coating systems with actnano’s next-generation, PFAS-free materials. This integration offers electronics manufacturers a proven path to more sustainable, energy-efficient production without sacrificing performance or throughput, allowing electronics manufacturers to meet sustainability goals while preserving operational excellence.
actnano’s award-winning Advanced nanoGUARD™ (ANG) coatings eliminate the need for energy-intensive curing ovens while maintaining protection for printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs). These innovative materials are now fully supported across Nordson’s ASYMTEK Select Coat® SL-940 and SL-1040 conformal coating platforms.
“We’re excited to support manufacturers making the shift to greener materials,” explained Almar Thewissen, Market Development Manager, Nordson Electronics Solutions. “With our equipment and actnano’s technology, customers can maintain a high-quality production line and a safe workplace while also reducing energy consumption.”
Nordson’s conformal coating equipment ensures optimal material handling and process stability when using actnano coatings. This combination enables smarter, greener electronics production with proven equipment upgrades that are ideal for high-throughput environments. The equipment features are designed to ease the transition from traditional conformal coating materials while optimizing actnano coating performance. Key equipment features include:
- Agitating reservoirs to prevent particle settling in the fluid, with choices in reservoir size and pneumatic or electric agitation.
- Circulating fluid systems to maintain material consistency and avoid build-up during idle time.
- Circulating applicators -- the ASYMTEK SC-350 Select Spray and SC-400 Precise Coat® Jet – to ensure a stable coating process.
- Extraction filters to manage atomized particle accumulation in spray applications and maintain optimal airflow.
- Dual ultrasonic cleaning station cleans two applicators simultaneously for increased uptime.
“With Nordson’s Select Coat® platforms and our ANG coatings, electronics manufacturers can reduce their environmental impact and improve production efficiency,” said Dr. Cassandra Zentner, Vice President of Technology and Sustainability of actnano. “This partnership is a win for both sustainability and innovation for our customers.”
