The document discusses surface finishing coatings for electronics components. It describes various coating types used in consumer electronics, including anti-corrosion coatings to prevent corrosion, conversion coatings to improve adhesion and corrosion resistance, and electroless nickel coatings that add functionality like conductivity and wear resistance. It also discusses where these coating solutions are used, such as in home entertainment, mobile devices, appliances, and computers. The document emphasizes that coatings must meet environmental directives like RoHS and WEEE by being free of hazardous materials such as hexavalent chromium, cadmium, and lead. It presents some of MacDermid's compliant coating technologies that replace these toxic materials, such as TriPass ELV 7000, NiK
