Enhance your SMT printing with advanced stencil coatings

When electronics manufacturing needs to stay efficient, our VPC Plasma and nanocoating treatments deliver measurable improvements in SMT printing performance. Sparks Laser Services Ltd helps achieve cleaner, more reliable paste release with a smoother consistency, reducing contamination and minimising cleaning cycles across high-volume production. 

These solutions deliver improved process reliability and output efficiency. Our coatings are engineered for fine pitch and small aperture applications, maintaining stable print quality throughout production. Within this process, quality management and industry requirements are integrated into every stage to ensure controlled application and consistent results.

Why choose our coatings for your process

Our coatings help you keep print quality high and cleaning interruptions low so your line runs smoother. With less paste left behind in apertures, your boards turn out cleaner and more precise. These advanced surface treatments allow you to focus on throughput, not maintenance. We support electronics and industrial manufacturers looking to optimise their production and get more from each stencil. Let us help you achieve greater efficiency and consistency in every run.

How our VPC Plasma and nanocoatings work for you

We apply VPC – Vacuum Plasma Coating – to the underside of your stencil and inside each aperture, cutting down on solder paste sticking and reducing flux build-up. This means your paste comes away easily, keeping the volume consistent across every print. Our nanocoating option provides a non-stick finish that is especially effective for dense images, fine pitches, and small apertures. 

If you run long production batches, you will notice far fewer cleaning stops, even after more than 60,000 prints. The denser your paste, the more you benefit from our coatings, and we can advise on the finest cleaning media for each finish. Our approach is always customised to your production needs, so you maximise your stencil investment.
