By casting electronics in silicone, you get strong protection against, for example, corrosion, UV light, oxidation, dirt and vibrations, while excess heat is conducted away.
Molding electronic components with silicone provides a high degree of protection and entails several advantages. Silicone:
✔ is flexible and elastic
✔ conducts away excess heat
Silicone is not classified as thermosetting plastic and most of the products are therefore very easy to work with in their production process. Thanks to this, a special adaptation of the workplace is generally avoided.
✔ Silicone does not contain solvents, and is gentle on both health and the environment.
The type of silicone best suited for a project is determined by several factors, such as:
- Which materials should be cast in?
- In what environment will the product be used?
- What does the production process look like?
– Is UL approval required?
We provide everything from optically clear casting compounds to extra thermally conductive, fast curing, FDA-classified etc. Feel free to contact us for advice or help with your project!
