Wilton, Connecticut, United States
Momentive Performance Materials has announced the introduction of FRV138 two-component fluorosilicone encapsulant, a single product that may help protect sensitive components from both chemicals and mechanical stresses such as shock and heat.
FRV138 encapsulant is a firm gel with a wide potential range of applications in the automotive, aerospace and chemical industry, where components need protection to withstand exposure to harsh environments such as extreme heat, cold or mechanical shock. FRV138 fluorosilicone encapsulant exhibits minimal absorption of fuels, oils, solvents or other chemical vapors and liquids.
"By developing a fluorosilicone encapsulant that offers both mechanical and chemical protection, we are enhancing the production of electronics and other sensitive components that can function better and longer in tough operating situations," said Jim Papa, marketing manager.
The consistency and excellent dispensing characteristics of FRV138 encapsulant make it an excellent candidate for protection of delicate parts in applications where small or deep crevices must be filled. FRV138 encapsulant is heat curable at 90(degree)C and retains its elastomeric properties in a range of temperatures from -40(degree)C to 150(degree)C. The material can be applied to many substrates without the use of a primer.
