NanoFlowX: Redefining Electronics Protection with Advanced Nanocoatings

In the fast-evolving electronics industry, durability and reliability are no longer optional, they are essential. From consumer electronics to aerospace systems, devices are expected to operate flawlessly in harsh environments filled with dust, moisture, salt spray, and electromagnetic interference. Traditional protection methods like conformal, plasma, and Parylene coatings, however, have failed to keep pace with these demands. That is where NanoFlowX steps in with a disruptive alternative: advanced nanocoatings that offer comprehensive, cost-effective, and reworkable protection.

“Electronics are becoming more complex, more compact, and more expensive,” explains Rick Fung, CEO of NanoFlowX. “Yet the coatings used to protect them haven’t changed meaningfully in decades. At NanoFlowX, we saw an opportunity to challenge the status quo and provide a smarter, more scalable solution.”

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, NanoFlowX was founded with a clear mission: to create innovative coating technologies that extend the lifespan and resilience of electronics. Over the years, the company has earned recognition from the U.S. Department of Defense, receiving multiple AFWERX Phase 1 contracts and being selected for Phase 2 development for medical equipment. These achievements underscore NanoFlowX’s credibility not only in commercial markets but also in mission-critical defense and aerospace applications.

Built on a foundation of research, testing, and real-world performance, NanoFlowX has positioned itself as a global leader in nanocoating technologies, offering solutions that are faster, safer, and more cost-effective than legacy coatings.

A Smarter Alternative to Conformal Coatings

Traditional conformal and Parylene coatings often introduce more problems than they solve. They require masking – leaving critical areas unprotected – produce toxic odors, are difficult to rework, and carry significant capital and labor costs. More importantly, they cannot guarantee waterproof or dustproof ratings on the full component level, leaving electronics vulnerable to failure.

NanoFlowX addresses these challenges head-on. Its coatings are:

• Mask-free: Protecting connectors and components with full 360° coverage.

• Ultra-thin: As low as 100 nm, ensuring no thermal insulation issues.

• Reworkable: Components can be desoldered, replaced, and recoated without damage.

• Environmentally safer: 100% Non-fluoro, halogen-free options available.

• High-performance: Tested to IP67 and IP68 waterproof ratings, UL94, and military standards.

As Fung notes, “We wanted to build coatings that not only protect electronics but also make life easier for manufacturers. No masking, no clogged spray heads, no expensive equipment, just a fast, reliable process that works.”

Industry Applications

NanoFlowX technologies serve a wide spectrum of industries, each requiring a unique balance of durability, reliability, and cost efficiency. Among them:

Consumer Electronics – Protecting tablets, smartphones, and wearables from everyday hazards like dust and accidental submersion. Case studies include children’s tablets and smartwatches that achieved IP68 durability without bulky gaskets.

Drones & UAVs – Ensuring flight-critical electronics survive moisture, rain, and water landings without compromising weight or performance. A DJI drone coated with NanoFlowX technology demonstrated superior waterproofing vs. traditional methods.

Defense & Aerospace – Providing military-grade protection proven in salt spray testing, where NanoFlowX outperformed Parylene by a factor of three. The coatings safeguard rugged servers, GPU cards, and power systems against corrosion and extreme environments.

Medical Devices – Extending product reliability for equipment exposed to humidity, fluids, and cleaning processes, an area recognized by DoD’s AFWERX Phase 2 selection.

Renewable Energy & Industrial Systems – Shielding solar panels, wind turbines, and inverters from environmental stressors that would otherwise shorten operational lifespans.

Services & Capabilities

NanoFlowX delivers a complete portfolio of nanocoating solutions tailored to customer needs:

World’s First Weatherized EMF/EMI Shielding: Incorporating graphene nanoplatelets to mitigate electromagnetic interference across critical applications from medical equipment to aerospace.

Self-Healing Technology: Polymer microcapsules infused with proprietary inhibitors that activate with abrasion and heat, extending the lifecycle of coated devices.

Ultra-Thin Connector-Safe Coatings: Safe for sensitive electronics including CMOS, MEMS, fiber optics, CPUs, and lasers.

Automated Application Process: A simple two-step dip-and-cure process that takes just minutes to achieve IP67/68 ratings, drastically reducing labor and equipment costs.

Additionally, NanoFlowX offers free testing and sample kits, underscoring its confidence in real-world results and commitment to customer partnerships.

Commitment to Quality

NanoFlowX’s coatings are not only innovative but rigorously tested. The company validates its solutions to international standards including IPC-CC-830, MIL-I-46058C, and ASTM G-21. Operating temperatures range from -62°C to 260°C, ensuring functionality across extreme environments.

The coatings have been trialed in salt spray chambers, abrasion tests, and long-term environmental exposure simulations, consistently outperforming traditional coatings. For customers, this means extended product lifecycles, reduced warranty claims, and significant savings in maintenance and replacement costs.

“Our philosophy is simple,” Fung emphasizes. “If our coating doesn’t reduce costs, extend lifespans, and improve reliability, then it hasn’t done its job. Every product we release is tested against that standard.”

Looking Ahead

With a track record of innovation, government validation, and growing adoption across industries, NanoFlowX is ready to redefine how electronics are protected. The company’s pipeline of advanced nanotechnologies such as self-healing formulations and enhanced EMI shielding promises to further raise the bar for durability and reliability.

Fung summarizes the company’s vision: “We’re not just developing coatings. We’re building a platform of technologies that will allow electronics to perform longer, safer, and smarter in any environment. The future of electronics protection isn’t thicker, heavier, or more expensive, it’s NanoFlowX.”
