Accidental water damage, condensation and humidity can short out or corrode and often ruin the circuitry of safety critical Automotive Electronics (Autopilot, Power Steering etc.) , cell phones, laptops, e-readers, digital cameras, electronic key fobs, television remotes, coffee makers, and many other devices that are often used in the proximity of water, other liquids, and even simply humidity. While some electronic devices are built and labeled as “water resistant,” they are comparatively few in number, and they often feature water-tight external enclosures that house the electronic components inside.
actnano has a number of nano coatings that can be applied to electronic devices in a way that makes them water-resistant to IPx7 levels.

The coatings can be applied to devices in various stages of the manufacturing process, including after the finished product is built.
