Protecting vital components from the harsh effects of the environment would be possible without waterproof overlays.
You can see overlays on, virtually, every electronic product, such as a computer, remote control, appliances, and equipment in industrial manufacturing plants.
Overlays communicate vital information to users operating a piece of equipment. Much like the control panel on your remote control you use at home to turn on the stereo or television. Heavy equipment operators and machine operators use control panels at work to make products on an assembly line.
Instructions for the control panel are printed on the overlay. An adhesive backing is applied to the overlay. Then it is attached to the control panel on a piece of equipment.
Many products are often used in extreme environments. Where ever there is rain or extreme moisture, waterproof overlays are often the only thing standing in the way of water and the vital electrical circuits in the control panel.
Medical devices used in nursing homes, hospital emergency rooms, outpatient centers and disaster areas need waterproof overlays to protect the electronic components from the environment. Without waterproof overlays protecting those vital electrical circuits in medical equipment, lives could be put in jeopardy.
Overlays that can keep moisture out of control panels is necessary for military equipment. The electronic equipment in a radio, a Humvee, to a F-16 fighter jet, waterproof overlays can protect the circuits from water and other harmful liquids.
