A Brief Silicone History Lesson Historically, silicones presented the automotive industry with some challenges – they were typically one-part, room-temperature-curing materials with a slow curing process – resulting in longer wait times, an increased need for testing and inspection of work in progress (WIP). Ultimately historical silicones were not ideal for optimised productivity. However, as we moved into the 1990s... Continue reading →

In the realm of electronics manufacturing, certain processes, such as soldering, reflow, and curing, involve high temperatures. To ensure the durability and reliability of electronic components, it's essential to employ adhesives or potting compounds that can withstand these extreme temperatures without losing their structural integrity. One effective solution is the use of adhesive systems with a high glass transition temperature... Continue reading →
