Silicone ink promises a faster cure
A novel fast-curing black silicone ink can be cured in less than one hour, compared with the 24 hours that RTV inks require for a touchable cure.
"We constantly look for ways to increase the efficiency of our products in customers' production and assembly lines", said Derek Williams-Wynn, Director of PST.
"We are excited about the possibilities associated with this technology and believe it will be useful when precision bond lines and simplicity of use are essential".
Thin films adhesives have distinct advantages over traditional liquid adhesives.
Users can die-cut precisely what is needed, and the low-flow characteristics of these adhesives eliminate overflow and many clean-up issues.
Silicone, which is known as an exceptional adhesive in applications in which temperature cycling is an issue, can be useful in aerospace and electronics components and assemblies.
In addition, PST can customise this adhesive technology for specific properties such as low outgasing and thermal conductivity.
NuSil Technology's CV-2680-12 is provided in 12in-square sheets and is reinforced with a glass-fibre scrim.
