(19) Silicones and Electronics Long-term, reliable protection of sensitive circuits and components has become increasingly more important in many delicate and demanding electronic applications. Silicones function over a wide temperature and humidity range as durable dielectric insulation, as barriers against environmental contaminants and as stress-relieving shock and vibration absorbers. In addition to sustaining their physical and electrical properties over a broad range of operating conditions, silicones are resistant to ozone and ultraviolet degradation and have good chemical stability. Most Dow silicones contain significantly less solvent than organic coatings and are available in a wide variety of cure ...
Conformal coatings provide a "thin section" solution for circuit boards requiring protection from moisture, chemicals, vibration and other contaminates.
UV7993 is a UV acrylated urethane system that offers tough, chemical resistance while maintaining a low stress resiliency for sensitive components. This fast curing system is widely used for white goods, appliances and commercial/industrial applications. SC3613 is an industry standard for applications demanding microelectronic grade purity as circuits are protected within a soft, silicone medium from dust, contaminates and vibration environments. This silicone coating offers high temperature performance often required from automotive and industrial circuit manufacturers.
