How can a high hardness polyurethane sealant be water-resistant, heat-resistant, and durable help electronic sensors achieve high reliability?
In the trend of intelligent, lightweight, and modular electronic components, the reliability of encapsulation materials is becoming a key design consideration. Today, Yilian brings a star material that has been validated in multiple terminal scenarios – Elaplus PUR 1680 (D70) two-component polyurethane sealant, and shares a case study with the application scenarios of sensor products.Filled PU Potting 1、 Customer background and pain pointsA first tier international automotive parts supplier mainly produces electronic sensors for vehicles, including temperature sensors, position sensors, pressure sensors, etc. Its products need to work in complex working conditions for a long time, such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong vibration environments. The previously used foreign brand epoxy sealant had the following issues:After solidification, the colloid is brittle and prone to cracking during thermal shock;Poor control of bubbles during the sealing process resulted in high electrical breakdown rates for some batches of products;The high water absorption rate of the material leads to signal drift after long-term wet heat testing;The customer is looking for an alternative material that can balance “stable electrical performance, reliable sealing, waterproof and heat-resistant, non-toxic and environmentally friendly”.2、 Recommended material: Elaplus PUR 1680 (D70) high hardness polyurethane sealantThe recommended sealing solution for it is Elaplus PUR 1680 (D70) A/B two-component polyurethane adhesive. This material is designed specifically for mid to high end electronic packaging and has excellent comprehensive performance. It has been widely used in communication equipment, power modules, controllers, vehicle sensors, industrial control board encapsulation, and other fields. The core advantages include:High hardness and toughness: Shore D65 ± 5 hardness after curing, balancing structural protection and stress buffering;Excellent electrical insulation performance: volume resistivity up to 5 × 10 ¹⁴Ω· cm, dielectric strength up to 20kV/mm;Extremely low water absorption rate: 24-hour water absorption rate<0.2%, outstanding moisture resistance;Stable thermal performance: operating temperature range of…
