Elaplus SIPC UV 3301: High-efficiency Silicone Conformal Coating Solution for PCB

2026-05-09

In the electronic manufacturing industry, the reliability of printed circuit boards (PCB) is the lifeline of electronic products. As electronic devices trend toward miniaturization and high integration, components on PCBs become increasingly densely arranged, making traditional single-cure conformal coatings face severe limitations. Conformal Coating for Gas Flow Meter One of the biggest challenges for engineers is shadow area curing dead zones. When UV light is blocked by tall components, the coating in shaded areas cannot cure completely, resulting in failed protection, short circuits, and even equipment corrosion. Today, we introduce Elaplus SIPC UV 3301, a UV/moisture dual-cure silicone conformal coating, and how it perfectly solves this industry pain point. I. Core Principle: Dual Curing Mechanism The key advantage of SIPC UV 3301 lies in its dual-protection curing design: Under UV irradiation at 300 mW/cm², the surface coating cures fully within 10 seconds to a tack-free state, greatly improving production line efficiency and throughput. 2.Moisture Secondary Curing (Full Shadow Cure) For shadow areas unreachable by UV light — such as component bottoms and pin gaps — the material absorbs atmospheric moisture to complete secondary curing. This mechanism ensures a tough elastic film forms in every gap of the PCB, completely eliminating risks caused by uncured residue. II. Extreme Temperature Resistance: -55℃ to 200℃ For automotive electronics, aerospace, and industrial automation equipment, drastic ambient temperature fluctuations are common operating conditions. SIPC UV 3301 delivers outstanding thermal stability: III. Excellent Electrical & Mechanical Properties SIPC UV 3301 excels in protective performance:Dielectric strength > 18 KV/mm, volume resistivity up to 3.5×10¹³ Ω·cm, providing reliable insulation protection under high-voltage working conditions.

SIGEL 1875 Self-Healing Silicone Gel Potting Solution for MAF Sensor

2026-05-08

In automotive electronic systems, the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can be regarded as the engine’s respiratory monitor. It real-time measures the intake air flow and provides critical data for the ECU to precisely calculate fuel injection quantity. Once this precision component fails due to moisture ingress, thermal shock or mechanical stress, it will lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced power at the mild level; in severe cases, it triggers the engine warning light or even vehicle breakdown. However, many engineers overlook a core point during material selection: the performance of potting material directly determines the service life limit of the sensor. Four Major Technical Challenges for MAF Sensor Potting The operating environment of MAF sensors is far harsher than imagined. Under the hood, temperature fluctuates drastically from -40℃ to 150℃, accompanied by multiple hazards such as oil vapor, road salt spray and high-pressure water washing. This sets stringent requirements for potting materials: 1. High-level Sealing & Protection Moisture is the top killer of sensor circuits. Even tiny water vapor penetration will cause signal drift, corrosion and short circuit. 2. Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance Traditional rigid potting compounds easily generate internal stress under temperature cycling. Long-term stress may cause solder joint cracking or encapsulation delamination. 3. Critical Stress Buffering Capacity The internal MEMS chips and precision resistor networks of sensors are extremely sensitive to mechanical stress. The potting material must possess sufficient flexibility to absorb vibration and impact. 4. Uncompromised Long-Term Reliability The material must not experience oil bleeding, yellowing or hardening during long-term service; otherwise, sensor signal accuracy and response speed will be directly affected. SIGEL 1875: Self-Healing Silicone Gel Specially Developed for High-Reliability Sensor Encapsulation To address the above challenges, ELAPLUS launches SIGEL 1875 transparent two-component self-healing silicone gel. With fundamental innovation in material science, it delivers…

5mm Full Depth Curing!ELAPLUS UV1020: Redefining the Performance Peak of White UV Dynamic Balancing Adhesives

2026-05-07

UV-curing adhesives have long been a key tool for improving production line efficiency in precision rotating component manufacturing, motor rotor dynamic balancing, and sensor packaging, thanks to their second-level curing speed. However, the industry has long faced a tough technical pain point: the “incomplete curing” issue of white/thick-layer UV adhesives. When the adhesive layer exceeds 3mm, traditional white UV adhesives often suffer from surface hardening but residual soft adhesive at the bottom. This not only causes a sharp drop in bonding strength but also hides quality risks such as falling off and imbalance for long-term product operation. Today, ELAPLUS officially launches UV1020 UV curable acrylic dynamic balancing adhesive. With its breakthrough deep-layer curing technology, it completely breaks the performance bottleneck of thick-layer white UV adhesives, becoming a veritable “top-tier” product in industrial applications. I. Core Pain Point: Why Do Thick-Layer White UV Adhesives Cure Incompletely? In the field of UV curing, curing depth depends on energy density and optical transmittance. To achieve visual opacity, traditional white UV adhesives are usually formulated with high-concentration light-shielding fillers (such as titanium dioxide). These fillers block visible light, while also strongly scattering and absorbing UV light. As a result, UV light cannot penetrate deeper than 3mm, failing to activate the photoinitiator at the bottom layer. For high-precision balanced motor rotors or thick-layer packaged sensors, this incomplete curing directly leads to bonding failure. II. Technical Breakthrough: 20000mJ/cm² Energy Input, Unlocking the 5mm Curing Limit The success of ELAPLUS UV1020 stems from in-depth insights into “energy for depth” and “optical system reconstruction”: High-Energy Curing SystemUV1020 recommends a curing energy of 20000mJ/cm² (based on 365nm LED light source), which is 2-4 times that of ordinary UV adhesives. Coupled with an optimized photoinitiator formula, it ensures thorough free radical reaction at the bottom layer even at a thickness…
