Protect sensitive electronics with industrial silicone
Shocks, vibrations, chemicals, heat, cold, condensation. There is a lot that sensitive electronics are exposed to. Tribotec can offer optimal protection through a variety of products such as RTV silicone, gel, varnish, support bonding, encapsulation, encapsulation and varnishing applications. In the electronics industry, silicone is used as protection against, above all, corrosion and impacts. The material has an extremely good electrical insulating ability and is not affected by water or moisture even in the very long term.
According to UL standard
For the export of electrical equipment, it is often a requirement that the products meet the UL standard. Tribotec has a wide range of UL-approved materials to choose from.
Many advantages of industrial silicone
Silicones are substances with silicon as a base. Silicone comes in many different varieties and forms, such as oil, grease, rubber, liquids, resins and powders. Precisely the content of silicon gives the products a range of technical advantages that organic materials lack.
High temperature resistance
Of all adhesive types, silicone generally provides the highest resistance to temperatures above 150°C. Ovens, LED fixtures, components around a car engine – all have to withstand high temperatures for a long time, and therefore silicone as an adhesive and protective material is the natural choice.
Resistant to UV radiation
Silicones are hardly affected at all by strong UV radiation, unlike most other types of glue. Products that are to be left outside (solar collectors, details for space equipment, road signs, etc.) are therefore often glued and protected with various types of industrial silicone.
Flexible in sub-zero temperatures
Silicone polymers and rubber retain their mechanical properties down to -60°C, some even lower. Cooling systems, freezers, laboratory equipment, aircraft parts are typical applications where silicones are needed to cope with the low temperatures.
Resistant to water and moisture
Silicones are not broken down by water or moisture even over a long period of time and water absorption is minimal. Therefore, industrial silicone retains its mechanical properties, and the quality is assured for the entire life of the product. For underwater environments, outdoor environments and humid environments, industrial silicone is a safe material choice.
Resistant to chemicals
Silicones are generally a good choice as a sealant against chemicals. The selection of products is large. Consult with Tribotec about the right product for your application.
Food approved
Silicone is an inert material, and does not react with substances in its environment. Therefore, silicone-based products are well suited for food and medical technology. Tribotec has a large number of products approved according to above all FDA regulations.
Good work environment
Because industrial silicone is not classified as thermosetting plastic, the products are often safe and easy to handle. Thanks to this, you generally avoid a special adaptation of the workplace.
