Ruggedization

military ruggedization

MG Chemicals Ruggedization Products delivers proven solutions to safeguard sensitive components and keep mission-critical equipment operating reliably — whether in industrial automation, aerospace, automotive, defense, or outdoor infrastructure.

Products include conformal coatings to protect sensitive circuitry, potting and encapsulation materials for maximum environmental defense, conductive paints and adhesives for EMI shielding, and thermal interface materials that enhance cooling under high-stress loads.

Each solution is engineered to extend service life, improve reliability, and reduce costly failures in demanding applications.

  • Protects electronics from moisture, corrosion, chemicals, shock, and vibration
  • Enhances heat dissipation to prevent thermal damage and maintain performance
  • Provides EMI shielding and grounding for improved signal integrity
  • Extends operating life of equipment in harsh or variable environments
  • Reduces field failures and maintenance costs for mission-critical systems

Conductive Paints – Lightweight and conformal – they can be sprayed, brushed, or dipped onto virtually any substrate, including plastics. This makes them ideal for retrofitting or shielding irregularly shaped components.

Conformal Coatings – Protective coatings that defend against moisture, dust, corrosive gases, and chemical exposure — preserving performance, boosting reliability, and significantly extending product life.

Electrically Conductive Adhesives – Epoxy systems loaded with high conductivity silver powder. These products are easy to use and a practical alternative when soldering is not feasible. 

Insulation Coatings – Provides electrical isolation of high voltage parts, such as motor windings and coils is required.

Potting Compounds – Add mechanical strength to assembly housings, fill large voids, insulate components from static discharge, and protect against exposure to chemicals, humidity, and salt water.

RTV Silicone Adhesives – Silicone adhesives are soft, stretchy materials that can undergo repeat stress without cracking, unlike hard materials. Our product range includes general purpose adhesives along with specialty adhesives. Specialty products include optical, low-outgassing, high temperature and thermally conductive. Adhesive options include flame retardant products certified by UL.

Thermal Interface Materials – Thermal interface materials (TIMs) displace air gaps between circuit parts and heat sinks to help move heat out of the circuit.
