Potting
is the process of
sealing or embedding
electronic components & assemblies in a
liquid resin (
potting compounds ) surrounded by a plastic shell. Performing the potting process
on electronics will stop
corrosion of metals, shortages, and reduce damage caused by vibration and mechanical stress.
Polyurethane, epoxy, acrylic, silicone and UV cure are the materials we use with the potting process. These materials vary in hardness from soft gels to hard plastics and are designed to
withstand many specific types of environments. Some have excellent thermal
conductivity while others have outstanding chemical or moisture resistance and all these materials provide good
dielectric properties and have a wide range of additional properties
to select from.

Encapsulation
is very similar to potting in a plastic shell although
instead of having a shell injection molded we can replace the shell with a
reusable mold. The encapsulation process works well with low to medium volumes
because a meter mix dispense machine can be used for filling the molds but is not necessary. The materials that
we use with the encapsulation process are polyurethane,
epoxy and silicones which are processed at room temperature or slightly
elevated. We will be glad to work with
you from the initial stages of the product design. |
