Encapsulation resins from Electrolube will be making their debut at productronica 2019 in Munich ( November 12-15). These polyurethane and epoxy resins are all available in user-friendly kit sizes to meet every need, from prototyping and product development to full production.

To give manufacturers all the benefits of curing using UV LED technology in a compact, all-in-one design, adhesives specialist Intertronics now offers the Dymax BlueWave AX-550 LED UV curing flood lamp. The lamp offers rapid curing and consistency across a 125x125mm curing area and can sit on a benchtop or be integrated into an automated production line.

Global electro-chemicals manufacturer, Electrolube, has introduced a new range of gap-filling products. GF400 is a two-part, liquid silicone-based gap filler, which can either be cured at room temperature or accelerated with heat. Following cure, GF400 forms a low modulus elastomer that prevents the ‘pump-out phenomenon’, ensuring minimal degradation of effective heat dissipation.

productronica will provide the venue for MicroCare to present its findings from an ongoing study with the industry’s leading flux and solder paste manufacturers which seeks to determine the best cleaning solutions for specific flux and paste products.

Nano Dimension has announced that it has developed 3D printed capacitors with the Company’s DragonFly additive manufacturing system. These capacitors are embedded in the body of the additively manufactured printed circuit boards (PCBs), saving space and eliminating the need for assemblyc

TRIM MicroSol 456, the latest addition to the Master Fluid Solutions’ range of semi-synthetic micro emulsion coolants, has been specifically introduced to meet the needs of European manufacturers who focus on the high production of cast iron and ferrous parts as well as some aluminium alloy and non-ferrous machining.

When you start using your soldering station, you will probably only use the soldering tip that comes with your iron, which will be perfectly suitable for general purpose use. However, HAKKO has designed a range of soldering tips that make quick and easy work of different soldering applications, which not only improve the soldering environment but also reduce costs.

Robnor ResinLab, formulator of epoxy and polyurethane resin systems, has announced the launch of a brand-new development material, PX19-GE3259-03. This epoxy foam offers good adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. The two-component epoxy system is particularly suitable for void-filling applications and has good compressive strength for backfilling of parts. 

Techsil has launched a new optically clear, low viscosity, UV curable adhesive into the UK market. Manufactured by Panacol, Vitralit 50004 is a one-component acrylic adhesive so it requires no mixing. The adhesive has been designed to use for bonding display screens and laminating optics.

Electrolube on its stand (A4-466) at Productronica this year is performing live demonstrations of its new range of UV cure conformal coatings, one of the most anticipated new group of coating products to come to market in recent years. Electrolube’s new series of coatings enable immediate board-handling with full cure guaranteed within an impressive 6-12 hours due to the chemical secondary cure mechanism.
