Momentives new range of SilCool™ Thermal Gap Fillers were evaluated for their ability to withstand random vibrations at high and low temperatures. Find out how they got on....
A White Paper from Nordson EFD evaluating how cyanoacrylates work alonside the advantages; dispensing challenges and best practices.
When faced with a part reproduction application there are many routes available to explore, Techsil evaluates the pro's and con's of various flexible processes incluiding polyurethanes and silicones.
Traditionally mechanical fasteners were seen as the strongest and most reliable fixing method, however, double sided structural adhesive tapes can often exceed this strength, provide longer lasting reliable bonds and offer unique benefits. In this white paper, Techsil analyses the advantages of using tapes as a replacement for mechanical fasteners.
The ability to deposit precise amounts of material is an ever-increasing necessity for manufacturers, particularly when assembling electronics and medical devices. Methods available for dispensing adhesives, epoxies and a multitude of other fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks and hand-plunger syringes to semi-automated tabletop dispensing robots.
In this white paper, Vlad Konopeklo explores the switch from manual squeeze bottle dispensing to benchtop fluid dispensing.
Topics Covered:
Adhesive technology can be a cost-effective solution to connect components for single use medical products. When bonding transparent or translucent substrates, using a UV curing acrylate adhesive has several advantages; cured acrylates are also compatible with common sterilisation processes such as autoclaving, gamma and ETO.
Dr Detlef Heindl provides expertise on UV curing adhesives compatible with common sterilisation processes for medical products.
Techsil considers the challenges of bonding composite materials and discusses ways to overcome them.
In this white paper, Techsil analyses key adhesives types such as cyanoacrylate, epoxies, polyurethane and UV adhesives and by defining a few key performance or manufacturing requirements can quickly narrow down the search to the most suitable adhesive types for the application.
Various conformal coating materials are used to provide protection and improve performance and reliability of PCBs.
This white paper, written by Kazuhisa Ono for Momentive Performance Materials Japan LLC, looks at the advantages of using silicones as a conformal coating on circuit boards, it includes performance comparison data of two new Momentive silicone conformal coating materials against a silicone resin based on the following tests:
For many years UV technology has been a reliable method for the curing of photo-reactive chemicals. In response to increasing production speeds and new applications UV lamp technology has also developed.
Hoenle questions if LED is the future of UV technology and have produced an objective comparison between UV-LED & conventional UV technologies.
Topics Covered:
Light curing adhesives are frequently used in the assembly of disposable medical products with high throughput; the speed of dispensing and cure enables the manufacturer to reduce production costs.
Panacol’s medical adhesive portfolio allows a variety of different design and substrate options: needle to plastic and glass hubs and syringes, connectors, housings, filters, catheters, endoscopes, covers, blood filters, face masks and surgical instruments.
