In essence the process involves injecting a 2 part silicone via a chilled mixer nozzle (2 degrees C) into a specially designed and heated mould tool. The electronic parts are then coated in an optically clear silicone that is set and ready to handle in around 2-3 minutes. All this is done at low pressure so there is no damage to batteries or sensitive/fragile electronic devices and when compared to silicone potting (measured in 4 to 24 hours) it is a technological revolution.
When violent forces threaten to destroy valuable, sensitive devices, our methodology of LPSM silicone inners with shelled layers of different polyamides enables thousands of G to be resisted – hundreds of times.
