Smart meter dielectric gels show a greater durability and better resistance to stress from thermal cycling. These innovative gels offered from Krayden provide excellent self-healing properties. Material will deliver excellent protection against corrosion and thermal-stress damage on electronics for smart water and gas meters.The variety of products can be firm or soft, have enhanced dielectric or mechanical strength and offer resistance to thermal cycling stress.

Dielectric Gels for Gas and Water Smart Meters:

Smart Meter adhesives and sealants are utilized to improve smart meter modules by preventing water and contaminate ingress. Sealants offered by Krayden are self-priming, versatile materials which provide a wide range of vicosities and cure mechanisms to match process productivity needs. They provide high strength and elongation, stress relief, low VOCs and good flammability ratings. Hot mold adhesives are also available for meter assembly. It is specifically designed for water, gas and electric smart meters

Adhesives and Sealants for Gas, Electric, and Water Smart Meters:

Conformal coatings are a key factor in smart meter assembly. They are used to protect printed circuit boards (PCBs). These flexible, yet tough products provide excellent adhesion to protect electronics from humidity, contaminates and corrosion. Conformal coatings are well suited to be used in smart electricity and gas meters. They offer excellent flammability resistance, performance properties and process choices.

Conformal Coatings for Gas, Electric, and Water Smart Meters:

Encapsulants can provide a stronger seal against contaminates for Smart Meters. The materials used need to be flexible while creating a resilient seal of the circuits. Different grades will offer low viscosity, good thermal conductivity, low stress and flammability certification. The two part components are easily mixed and offer processing choices without solvents or cure by-products. These products are well suited to protect sensitive electronic devices from water ingress. Smart Meter  Encapsulants provide outstanding protection for even the most delicate electronic devices from contaminates. The extensive range of products available from Krayden have proven highly effective for some of the leading manufacturers of smart meters.

Encapsulants for Gas, Electric, and Water Smart Meters:

Thermally conductive adhesives are well suited for dissipating heat generated in the electronic circuitry. Heat taken away from the smart meter allows the devices to work more efficiently as well as protecting it from damages caused by high heat exposure. The thermal interface materials offered  provide good process efficiency with flowable and nonflowable options. They have good thermal conductivity, flame resistance and dielectric strength.

Thermal Interface Materials for Gas, Electric and Water Smart Meters:

Smart meter assembly is key in developing some of the most effective and efficient units available. Long term durability and functionality is dependent on the effectiveness of the materials used to assemble these smart meters. The adhesives, dielectric gels, encapsulants and conformal coatings involved need to withstand harsh environments, thermal cycling, protect electronics from contaminates and much more.
