Low Pressure Molding

TECHNOMELT^??low pressure molding material solutions from Henkel offer streamlined processing and excellent protection for modern connectors, electronic?components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and lighting?applications. The simplicity of these products is their advantage: the entire TECHNOMELT^??operation takes place at low pressure, cycle time is short, and fine or fragile circuitry is not damaged. For these reasons, TECHNOMELT^??is increasingly being chosen as an alternative to potting?and encapsulating?processes.

Whether you are looking for polyamide or polyolefin hot melt adhesives, TECHNOMELT^??materials deliver exceptional electrical insulation, as well as temperature, vibration, and solvent resistance for many applications. The broad product range protects electronics from the harshest environmental conditions, including high humidity, long-term UV exposure, and extreme thermal cycling. Henkel’s TECHNOMELT^? is a trusted supplier of high-quality low pressure molding materials that help protect electronic circuit boards?and other components against various environmental pressures.

Low Pressure Molding Materials

TECHNOMELT^? low pressure molding materials are specially designed for PCB protection while helping you cut cost and improve quality across different applications. Our low pressure molding compounds include thermoplastic polyamides and polyolefin hot melt adhesives?suitable for different low pressure molding systems. Low pressure molding is a faster and more efficient process than conventional potting. TECHNOMELT^??is a one-part material that requires no mixing or curing and, therefore, reduces material consumption through streamlined, multi-level, and contour-exact encapsulation. This also constitutes a sustainable solution through its unique re-usable formulation and green chemistry. Integrating TECHNOMELT^??low pressure molding compounds as an alternative to potting also reduces part numbers by eliminating the need for housing or additional parts to achieve strain relief.

As electronic device?manufacturers continue to move toward more cost-effective and sustainable solutions, TECHNOMELT^? integration for viable protection of electronic components and systems is accelerating. Today, TECHNOMELT^? is used in a wide range of applications, such as the recent lighting enhancement on a bridge in a major US city, where TECHNOMELT^? was used to encase 25,000 LED circuit boards, protecting the sensitive LED electronics from the harsh geographic environment.

TECHNOMELT^? also was chosen to protect electronic controllers in the robot that capped a ruptured pipe in an infamous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.?TECHNOMELT^? can be found in these high-visibility applications, as well as in products like coffee makers, self-driving cars, GPS tracking devices, and PC accessories.?Find out more about the different industries and applications that use low pressure molding compounds:

The Benefits of our Low Pressure Molding Systems

The TECHNOMELT^? Low Pressure Molding Process

How does low pressure molding with TECHNOMELT^??work? It's really simple, because you are able to encapsulate your electronic products in only three steps:

1. Insert bare electronics into your predesigned mold set
2. TECHNOMELT^??encapsulates electronics at low pressure and temperatures
3. Test parts and move them to final assembly — immediately after molding
