Silicon gel: ideal choice for electronic packaging and protection
With the continuous improvement of high integration, lightweight, and high reliability requirements for electronic products, traditional packaging and protective materials are no longer able to meet their demanding performance requirements. Among many materials, silicone gel, with its excellent flexibility, electrical insulation, thermal stability and weather resistance, has become a popular packaging and potting material in many fields such as electronics, automobile, new energy, medical treatment, etc. In this paper, Yili’an will comprehensively analyze the application value of silicone gel from the aspects of product definition, performance advantages, application fields, use methods and selection suggestions.1, What is silicone gel?Organo silicon gel is a kind of polymer material based on polysiloxane structure, which is usually supplied in the form of A/B two-component liquid. After mixing, it is cured at room temperature or heating to form a soft elastic gel. Its hardness is much lower than that of ordinary silicone rubber, and it feels like jelly. It has excellent flexibility and resilience, which can effectively cushion external impact and maintain stable performance for a long time.Typical products such as ELAPLUS SIGEL 1806, ELAPLUS SIGEL 8605, ELAPLUS SIGEL 3006, etc. have good transparency, low stress, high insulation, and are suitable for protective packaging of various precision electronics.2, Performance advantages of organosilicon gel
