Following the successful uptake of the two-part 2K conformal coating by manufacturers in a myriad of industries, Electrolube has announced a new series of ‘how-to’ videos to demonstrate how simple it is to accommodate the advanced two-part coating system into existing dispensing systems.

Nordson Electronics Solutions has announced the new ASYMTEK Forte MAX fluid dispensing system with high accuracy, dual-valve jetting in two modes, and patented, real-time correction to accommodate skewed parts.

DELO has launched a structural adhesive with exceptionally high temperature stability. DELO MONOPOX HT2999 achieves strengths of 20 MPa at 180°C. This is four times greater than its predecessor. The product was developed primarily for the automotive industry and mechanical engineering.

Parker Instrumentation Products Division Europe – part of Parker Hannifin, a specialist in motion and control technologies, has launched its latest catalogue and most up-to-date needle valves and manifold solutions range.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) occur when solvents and solvent-containing products are used, and they are harmful to the environment. Nevertheless, manufacturing in many industries still involves pre-treating surfaces with primers, bonding agents or other chemicals that release VOCs. With its Openair-Plasma process, Plasmatreat has announced that it now offers an environmentally friendly alternative.

SnapEDA and DipTrace are announcing a collaboration that integrates SnapEDA’s computer-aided design (CAD) database directly into DipTrace’s latest PCB design software.

Dow showcased its growing family of high-performance materials for the 5G ecosystem, including innovations in thermal management materials; conformal coatings and encapsulants; and EMI shielding, at Productronica China 2021.

An enhanced traceability feature called Part Tracing for printing information to appear directly on cut tape products has been launched by Digi-Key Electronics.

Intertronics has launched Born2Bond Light Lock, a low-odour, low bloom, dual-curing cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA). Designed for a wide range of bonding applications that require fast fixture, coating or surface cure, Light Lock’s dual cure formulation includes both instant (surface) cure and light cure. It is available in high viscosity and gel formulations for bonding, repair, coating or infilling applications.

With the rise in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, protecting battery systems from harsh environments has never been more critical. The secret to enhancing battery performance, safety and reliability lies in implementing the most effective electro-chemical protection materials, particularly given the increasing trend towards high-capacity, fast charging battery packs.
