Calvin Jennings, Industry Expert of Over 20 Years, Dominique Throop, HZO Application Engineer, Disclose how to Improve Automotive Electronic Safety, Reliable Operation, in Sustainable Way

Raleigh, NC – September 1, 2020 – HZO, a global leader in delivering world-class protective nanocoatings that safeguard electronics from the most demanding corrosive and liquid environments, is hosting an industry webinar, “Improving Automotive Electronic Performance in Harsh Service Environments” on Thursday, September 17 at 1:00pm EDT via Zoom. 

By 2030, electronics will account for 50% of a car’s total cost, worldwide, as the automotive industry shifts towards more autonomy.

Electronic components intended for automotive applications face exposure to wide temperature extremes, myriad fluids, and random vibrations. Under the hood, Parylene exhibits beneficial properties conducive to reliable operation, including good abrasion resistance, low moisture permeability, and excellent thermal properties. In-cabin, nanocoatings are a competitive method for splash and moisture resistance from any liquid type.

In this webinar, you will learn: 

1. Current and future trends driving the evolution of automotive electronic components. 
2. Challenges that these trends present for manufacturers and their design engineers.  
3. How to protect electronic components from severe service environments. 
4. Why engineers are turning to thin-film alternatives instead of the traditional protection methods.  
5. The beneficial properties of Parylene and nanocoatings.
