Electrolube launch a new Silicone Resin for LEDs and UV Cure Coating at FIEE Brazil

The new UVCL UV cure conformal coating provides the highest level of protection for electronic circuitry at exceptionally high speeds of application, curing within seconds upon exposure to UV light or within 2 hours at 80C°, due to an innovative ‘multi-cure'' mechanism that facilitates cure in shadowed areas.

Designed for high volume users in fields such as automotive and consumer electronics, UVCL is the next generation of VOC-free coating with excellent storage stability and a long shelf life. The low viscosity coating allows the application of relatively thin films without the need for dilution and provides the highest level of flexibility, moisture and chemical resistance at minimal cost. The non-flammable coating fluoresces under UV light for ease of inspection and offers excellent electrical properties with a wide operating temperature range. UVCL is highly adaptable for different processes and provides excellent resistance to common ‘thermal shock'' cycling, moisture vapour, salt-spray, solvent and fluid exposure, and condensing environments.

Electrolube''s SC3001 silicone resin has grown to become one of the company''s most successful products. SC3001 is an optically clear and flexible two-part encapsulation compound that has been specifically designed to meet a wide array of challenges facing the LED industry. It helps to protect and insulate components from the threats of harsh and challenging environments including moisture and general contamination. The new resin provides a complete barrier against such environments whilst still providing outstanding performance.

SC3001 features a number of benefits over its competitors including low viscosity, excellent electrical properties and flexibility. The silicone resin is RoHS compliant and is particularly suited to applications where thin films are required due to its moisture cure nature. It also remains flexible over an exceptionally wide temperature range of -60 to +200°C.
