Promoted by NOVAGARD SOLUTIONS
Selecting the best silicone for an electronic application goes beyond the product’s numerous functional attributes. Two other questions should be addressed to identify the ideal product: how it will be applied, and what type of UV cure is best for your process. The viscosity and flowability of the coating must align with the process technology being used – how it will be dispensed, and what type of equipment is being used in the manufacturing process. By understanding where the silicone needs to be placed, and how, Novagard can provide the exact coating needed to meet specifications.
