Welcome to Nexus
My name is Dr Lee Hitchens and I am the author of the Nexus eBook.
If you’re reading this page then the chances are you are looking for a piece of information on some area of conformal coating and this is exactly what Nexus was written for.
To start with I thought I would try and answer a few of the basic questions you may have so you can understand what Nexus and I stand for?
What is Nexus?
Nexus is an independent website and eBook dedicated to providing technical and commercial information on all areas of conformal coating and the related topics connected to the process.
It is made up of a lot of knowledge from many different people from the world of conformal coating that you should find useful.
Why write Nexus?
I have been working in the electronics industry and the area of conformal coatings for over 25 years in various areas including sales and technical support.
I have also been training people for almost the same amount of time in all areas of conformal coating whether that is materials & equipment selection, process development or troubleshooting to help them solve their particular problem.
A few years ago I decided that the industry needed a specific place where all of the useful knowledge on conformal coatings could be collated for users to find easily and use in their own production process.
So, Nexus was born and I began writing the website.
The new Nexus website and eBook
The resulting new website launched this year and the eBook that I have produced is the result of a continuous process of collating knowledge from many different sources from all over the industry who help peer review the content.
This is so the conformal coating knowledge you have in Nexus is as independent as it can ever be and should be able to guide you through most issues without risk of commercial bias.
I hope that you find this the case and that you will find all the knowledge you need on understanding conformal coatings and being successful in their application.

Where to find the best content?
People come to the website for several reasons.
I have tried to pick out a few of the key areas for the first time user of the website with the related conformal coating questions normally asked?
Click on each to find out more about the conformal coating area.
- Trying to understand how to select a conformal coating, the equipment or define the process?
- Having trouble in conformal coating production and need some help with solving the issues?
- Want to watch videos guides discussing conformal coating application and processing?
- Need help with the design of a circuit board that requires conformal coating?
- Looking for the reasons why you use a conformal coating?
- Want to remove a conformal coating?
- Want to understand the conformal coating application process?
- Need to find out more about the alternative conformal coatings to the traditional liquid materials?
- Looking for a supplier of material, equipment or coating service?
Need to find out more?
There is plenty of information beyond these few key links if you go to our overview page of conformal coating eBook.
Or you can contact me at lhitchens@nexus3c.com and I will be more than happy to answer your question directly.
Finally, if you think there is an area that needs improving, may be technically wrong or not included just let me know? This is a continuously growing eBook and I am happy to add more information or improve the quality of the service.
The authors and contributors
There are several main authors involved in the writing of the eBook.
Plus, their are many contributors to the various sections of the eBook.
This helps provide specific technical information to a particular area that really ensures great content and knowledge is passed on to those who need it.
Peer reviewed
This specialist knowledge has been collated into an eBook that is also continuously peer reviewed where possible.
This means that the knowledge gains more value to the user since it has been checked and validated for its technical correctness.
We hope this means you end up with the right content for you.
