Market needs have a great impact on the need for circuit board protection. With smaller electronic packages becoming more prevalent, the need to protect them is becoming increasingly more popular. Additionally, as electronics continue to grow and are being used in more applications, developers have found that they are requiring protection from everyday harsh environments in which they reside. With this, manufacturers are requiring ease-of-use with non-hazardous materials, less waste, fewer manufacturing steps, and smaller equipment footprint. In turn, the end product needs to be cost effective and reliable. All of these can drive the need for circuit board protection and what methods would be required.
