Case study: a clear potting process for a sustainable fishing device
To aid the rapid development of a new deep-sea fishing device, sustainable fishing start-up SafetyNet Technologies (SNTech) reached out to us. In a close collaboration, SNTech specified two materials, Opti-tec™ 4210 and IRS 3071, and developed a reliable assembly process. The new device, Pisces Deep, has since passed pressure tests at 100 bar and is […]

Thermally Conductive Silicones
Thermally conductive silicones can provide excellent thermal management. Through the addition of specialist fillers, heat can be dissipated from processors, power units, LED’s and other components to improve performance and product life. They can also be used to improve the heat conduction in sensors, radiators and thermal devices. We have a complete range of thermally […]
