There are two types of electronic potting adhesives - one-component and two-component - and the scope of application varies between them. It is important to choose the most suitable product for the specific application so that it can perform its characteristics and reduce waste and cost.
How are the different types of adhesives stored and used?
One-component adhesives can be cured at medium or high temperatures, but increasing the temperature will speed up the curing process. Normally, they should be stored at 25°C. Compared to two-component products, one-component adhesives have better adhesion and temperature resistance. However, there are temperature requirements during storage that require additional attention.
Two-component adhesives can be cured at room temperature or high temperatures and there is no single curing method. As it is a combination of two AB materials, the two groups of materials need to be blended in scientific proportions and mixed evenly. After mixing, the potting is then carried out. If the requirements for the adhesive are high, vacuum treatment is required. Work with a competent supplier for more peace of mind
Is it easy to cure electronic potting adhesives?
The curing time of a good quality adhesive is directly related to temperature, pressure, and other factors and cannot be generalized. Some products take a few minutes, some take a few hours, some take a few days. Not the faster the curing time, the better, not the slower the better, according to the specific use of the environment to control the curing time. Appropriate to enhance the curing temperature, shorten the curing time, not delay the process of other work.
When electronic potting adhesive curing, do not only consider the speed and ignore the bonding. Sometimes the speed of curing affects the adhesion and does not bond to the material, which directly affects the results. Pay more attention to it so that it cures properly and gives better results.
