The importance of silicone in electronic device manufacturing

Silicone materials are often considered one choice “among others.” In reality, they become central when operating conditions begin to be variable or critical.

The technical guide addresses a central issue: how to ensure protection and reliability over time. Inside you will find:

  • differences between silicones and alternative materials
  • behavior under thermal and environmental stress
  • resistance to humidity, vibrations, and chemical agents
  • selection criteria based on application.

Low Pressure Molding: a new technology for electronic device protection

Alongside silicones, Mascherpa introduces a new solution: Low Pressure Molding, based on hot melt polymers. This technology allows for the encapsulation of electronic components in a fast, controlled, and repeatable manner.

A different approach compared to potting and traditional solutions, useful when there is a need to simplify the process and reduce components and steps.

Polymer and machine: the complete system

The difference of this technology lies in the integration between material and process.

Hot melt polymers developed by SIPOL

  • protection from water, dust, vibrations, and thermal stress
  • high chemical and mechanical resistance
  • insulating properties and stability over time
  • direct molding capability on PCB
  • single-component thermoplastic adhesive

LPM system by TECNO INCOLLAGGI (Tecnostar)

  • high-precision volumetric gear pump for process control
  • complete parameter management via PLC
  • reduced resin oxidation inside the melter
  • no color alteration
  • waste reduction and greater product stability
  • reduced cycle times and lower energy consumption

The result is an integrated system that combines material and process. Contact us for more information.
