By encapsulating electronics in silicone, you get strong protection against, for example, corrosion, UV light, oxidation, dirt and vibrations while dissipating excess heat.
Moulding electronic components with silicone provides a high level of protection and offers several advantages. Silicone:
✔ is flexible and resilient
✔ dissipates excess heat
✔ are not classified as thermosetting plastics and most of the products are therefore very friendly to work with in their production process. Thanks to this, special adaptation of the workplace is generally not necessary.
✔ 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, for example:
- What materials should be moulded in?
- In what environment will the product be used?
- What is the production process?
- Is UL approval required?
We provide everything from optically clear moulding compounds to extra thermally conductive, fast curing, FDA approved etc. Feel free to contact us for advice or help with your project!
