Electro-chemicals specialist Electrolube has seen a 29% increase in turnover in the first six months of the year. What the company describes as a “powerful” global performance has been delivered across all territories, particularly Electrolube’s Chinese operation. The companies’ increased investment for the new manufacturing facility in Bangalore, India has also produced significant benefits.  

Electrolube will be exhibiting and presenting at productronica India. According to the company, products taking centre stage at this year’s show include HFAC - a high performance and halogen-free acrylic conformal coating, HTCX-ZF – a zinc oxide-free thermal paste as well as a new range of high-performance resins specifically for LEDs.

Electrolube will be hosting a presentation at productronica India’s Technical Automotive Seminar. Phil Kinner, Global Business and Technical Director of Electrolube’s Conformal Coatings Division, will present two automotive themed Conformal Coating case studies, examining real problems with an emphasis onanalysis and trouble shooting.

As many of you know, providing an adequate thermally conductive interface between a component and its heatsink is essential to achieving long life and reliability. Traditionally, thermal greases have been the material of choice in this area, but new thermal phase change materials are now said to offer a stable alternative that is easier to apply. Thermal greases have relatively low thermal resistance and offer excellent thermal performance f...

Global electro-chemicals manufacturer, Electrolube, has developed acleaning solution called Safewash Super (SWAS) for PCB wafer assemblers, following close collaboration with a number of manufacturers to considerably improve their cleaning capabilities as well as speed up throughput, reduce costs and decrease environmental impact. Whilst cleaning processes can vary from plant to plant, the silicone wafer manufacturers in collaboration with Electr...

Electrolube was recently approached by a company in Australia for assistance with a particularly unusual application. The customer needed protection for an underwater LED lighting unit. The encapsulation resin needed to be light blue for aesthetic purposes and had to be able to withstand water temperatures between 5 to 40°C, as well as being flame retardant.  The customer specifically asked for a sample of a very flexible encapsulation r...

Electrolube is selectively partnering with key dispensing equipment manufacturers (including PVA, Nordson Asymtek and others) to ensure that its 2K conformal coatings enable customers to obtain optimum results from its range of two-part coating systems. Electrolube’s systems are specifically designed to combine the protection and properties of a resin with the straightforward application of a conformal coating without the use of harmful sol...

Electrolube, part of the H K Wentworth Group, just announced ISO 9001-2015 approval for its rapidly expanding operation in Bangalore. Electrolube India has received ISO 9001-2015, a standard  based upon verification of a number of quality management principles demonstrated by an organization.

Electrolube has complemented its Aromatic Free Acrylic Coating range with a range extension, entitled AFA-G. The new addition is deliberately more viscous than a standard coating, designed for use as a permanent masking or damming material, either preventing capillary action around components such as connectors, or as a mask between the ‘coat` and ‘no-coat` areas of the PCB. 

Electrolube is to demonstrate a range of capabilities and special products at this year’s Strategies in Light exhibition (Anaheim, California, February 28 - March 2). Marking its second appearance at this specialist LED lighting industry event, Electrolube will have technical specialists available to discuss issues that LED lighting manufacturers experience in the course of product development.

Two new phase change Thermal Management materials have been released by Electrolube, that offer high thermal conductivity, low phase change temperatures and low thermal resistance at the interface. Phase change materials are highly suited to the thermal management of electronic assemblies for a number of reasons.

Electrolube’s Contact lubricants are said to have been proven to extend the lifetime of switches by more than 300%, increasing performance in a many applications and preventing the need for maintenance. The specially formulated greases and oils are designed to reduce friction, wear and enhance the electrical performance of current carrying metal interfaces.

Rapid growth of the LED market means correct product selection is imperative to ensure LED lifetime and performance. Electrolube has developed a number of key new products to help LED manufacturers improve upon the thermal management of LED products and ensure the desired results for heat dissipation are achieved.

Electrolube has developed new materials to protect LED-based systems and their associated driver electronics from a host of environmental factors. The latest is a Surface-Cure Thermal Paste, SCTP, which is said to be extremely stable during even the harshest thermal shock testing.

Designed for cleaning printed circuit boards, Safewash Total (SWAT) from Electrolube, is growing in popularity in military and commercial applications and is well suited for the removal of leaded, lead-free and no-clean flux residues. The cleaner is also suitable for the removal of pastes and adhesives from screens, stencils, boards and accessories as well as general degreasing applications.

At electronica 2014, last week, Electrolube exhibited for the first time. In Hall A6, which was dedicated to the automotive sector, the company presented its conformal coatings, resins and contact lubricant products. Hall B1 was dedicated to sensors, micro- and nano-systems, MEMS technologies and electromechanical/system peripherals, where Electrolube demonstrated its capabilities in thermal management.

The UR5604 polyurethane resin, manufactured by Electrolube, has been chosen for use with a sensor designed for hazardous locations. The sensor's electronics, which are in the form of a PCB, needed to be protected from adverse atmospheric conditions but also meet the requirements of the hazardous location.

Electrolube, the established manufacturer of electro-chemicals, will once again exhibit a range of high performance chemicals for the electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing industries at the Southern Manufacturing and Electronics Exhibition in February.

With just days to go until the start of the National Manufacturing Week Exhibition in Sydney, Electrolube, the leading manufacturer of electro-chemicals for the electronics, automotive and industrial manufacturing industries, is preparing to present its full product range, including a number of new additions.
