Silicone Electronic Sealant help protect electronics from thermal

Silicones help protect electronics from thermal, electrical and mechanical stress. They also promote design freedom, allow productivity needs and enable long-term performance.
Gap fillers are liquid materials that are dispensed to form soft, stress-absorbing interfaces between heat-producing electronics components and metal cases or heat sinks. These gap fillers are designed to enhance thermal performance by eliminating air gaps and voids in electronic assembly. These thermally conductive liquid gap fillers also provide excellent vibration dampening properties to protect pressure sensitive heat generating electronics from dimensional changes.
They are available in a variety of formulations to highlight specific cured material properties, such as gel-like modules or low compression set or memory. These liquid gap fillers are designed to work well with dispensing equipment to facilitate high volume manufacturing operations.
Unlike solid pad-based gap fillers, liquid gap fillers are able to accommodate a greater volume fraction of conductive fillers without sacrificing processability. This allows for better wet-out to optimize thermal conductivity and provides improved thermal resistance compared to solid gap filler materials. They can also be used in applications where stronger structural bonds are not required.
Unlike standard glue, which uses oxygen to create the bond, our molecular Process creates a permanent anaerobic chemical bond. It is easy to use and works on all types of silicone rubber, including platinum cured (addition cure), peroxide cured and tin cured.
To use SS-24, first clean the surface to be bonded. Then sand the silicone rubber or metal with low-grit sandpaper to produce a smooth, fine finish. Wipe away any sanding dust, then spray the Activator onto one of the surfaces. Push the surfaces together, then wait two minutes for a molecular bond to form.
Silicone adhesives have a number of advantages over other types of glues and sealants. They can maintain their elasticity and physical properties across a very wide temperature range, are water repellent, and can resist UV rays.
Many silicone adhesives are non-corrosive and can be used around metal components. This makes them ideal for use in electronics and as a sealant where power cords enter motors. They can also be used to bond copper components and protect them from corrosion.
These materials can be found in a variety of applications due to their resilience and versatility. They are able to withstand the harsh conditions of outer space and can bind dissimilar substrates. Electronic Sealant are also able to resist vibration and weathering.
Silicone adhesives are very popular in the medical field as a bandage adhesive that does not leave a sticky residue and is water resistant. They can also be used to lubricate parts during injection molding, blowing and extrusion in foundries.
A non-corrosive, high viscosity, and waterproof silicone sealant. Recommended for bonding electrical components to a wide range of substrates including metals, glass, and wood. Also suitable for sealing and adhering decorative surface trims, skirting boards, coving and dado rails.
Adhesively bonded connections with structural silicone sealants represent an attractive alternative to mechanical fixation devices in facade constructions due to their energy efficiency, aesthetical appearance and resistance against environmental influences and ageing. In order to evaluate the performance of such connections, the bonded joint’s acting stress state has to be compared with an allowable upper limit.
