The story:
The customer was looking for a material that offered a shorter cure time to handling strength allowing them to handle assemblies same day, helping them to reduce work in process, passing the thermal cycle.
What is the application? | Bonding and sealing a metal plate to the end of a half coil. |
What issues was the end-user having? | The issues with the current silicone used: 1) 24 hour cure to handle assembly, 2) the silicone exhibited adhesive failure in thermal cycle testing. |
What material was used to solve the issue? | Permabond PT326 |
Why did this material work better than other materials? | Permabond PT326 shorter cure time to handling strength allowed to handle assemblies same day, reduced work in process, assembly passed the thermal cycle. |
Was this material lower cost than other materials? | No. |
Did this material improve the process? | Yes. |
What industry/market was this material used in? | Electronics |
