Electrolube showcased a range of new encapsulation resins at this year’s Electronex electronics design and assembly expo in Australia.
One of these was a modified formulation of the company’s ER4001 thermally conductive epoxy resin system, offering an improved method of cure and subsequent health and safety benefits for the user. This resin is particularly suited to automotive applications (for both traditional and electric power train types) that generally require high thermal conductivity and good thermal cycling performance. The improved ER4001 is also ideal for use in LED lighting units where it helps to promote heat dissipation and prolong unit service life.
Electrolube also launched two new polyurethane resins, which are specifically aimed at helping LED lighting manufacturers provide environmental protection for their products. UR5638 is a tougher and low exotherm version of its 5634 product, providing a clear, transparent finish. The low exotherm of this resin makes it particularly suitable for applications involving the encapsulation of larger LED lighting units. It is an aliphatic polymer offering superior UV stability as well as excellent transmission of visible light, making it an ideal resin for white light LEDs.
The second new polyurethane resin - UR5639 – is a low exotherm, low viscosity, low hardness, flexible, clear/transparent resin designed for encapsulating a variety of electrical components, but particularly LEDs. The level of flexibility achieved by the cured resin means that the connecting legs of components are not placed under high levels of stress during the cure.
