Peters' specialist book "Coating materials for electronics" published

"With this specialist book, we are underlining our commitment to advancing the development and manufacture of coating materials for the production of printed circuit boards as well as protective varnishes and potting compounds for the protection of assembled printed circuit boards at a scientific level," says publisher Brigitte Schwartz, née Peters. Back in 1957, her father Werner Peters, who died in 2017, developed the first circuit printing varnishes for the first printed circuit boards manufactured in Germany and Europe at that time. Author Dr. Suppa built on this expertise with the first specialist book "Protective coatings for electronic assemblies", which was published by Werner Peters in 2010. This first reference book already caused a sensation in specialist circles with the profound presentation of the proven protective coating expert Dr. Suppa, who has remained associated with Lackwerke Peters as a consultant to this day, and gave many companies across the globe the necessary confidence in Peters products.

Dr. Suppa adds that the second edition published by Leuze-Verlag closes a gap after 13 years. In addition to protective coatings, he has focused more on potting compounds, which have become increasingly important for LED applications, for example. The new work also takes into account the fact that the demands placed on assemblies have increased, for example in the area of high-voltage applications in so-called e-mobility and the challenges posed by advancing miniaturization. The two-volume book thus satisfies a need among experts for in-depth information on coating materials, how they work and how they are used and applied. The contents of the thesaurus make it clear that the properties of coatings have improved considerably in terms of temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance and electrical insulation properties when exposed to moisture. Just like the first edition with 527 pages, 329 illustrations and 112 tables, the new reference book by Dr. Suppa is a real reference work on the subject of coating materials for electronics. The analytical compendium, which focuses on protective coatings and potting compounds, comprises a total of 1300 pages in 29 chapters, 622 illustrations and 91 tables in two volumes. Dr. Suppa, who was born in 1951 and holds a doctorate in physical chemistry from the University of Essen, has described the complex chemical relationships in detail and meticulously. Dr. Suppa not only shares his knowledge in the two Peters reference books. Until his retirement, the chemist was also a sought-after contact for technical questions on coating materials in the electronics industry and a nationally and internationally respected speaker.
