curing agents for circuit boards
curing agents for printed circuit boards

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the backbone of modern electronics, serving as the foundation for the seamless functioning of countless devices. Behind the scenes, the performance and reliability of these intricate boards are bolstered by the application of curing agents, essential chemical compounds that play a vital role in their production. Curing agents, also known as epoxy resins, are indispensable in the manufacturing of PCBs. They provide the necessary mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrical insulation properties that ensure the optimal performance of electronic devices. These agents act as a binder, transforming the raw materials into a rigid, durable substrate that can withstand the demands of daily usage.

plasticizers for potting compounds

Electronic devices have become an integral part of our daily lives, powering our communication, entertainment, and productivity. These devices rely on advanced potting compounds to provide crucial protection and insulation for their delicate electronic components. The inclusion of plasticizers in these compounds adds significant value, enhancing performance, durability, and reliability. Potting compounds are widely used in the electronics industry to encapsulate and protect sensitive electronic components from moisture, vibrations, mechanical stress, and other environmental factors. These compounds form a protective barrier that not only shields the components but also improves electrical insulation, preventing short circuits and electrical interference.

solvents for cleaning

Maintaining the pristine performance and reliability of electronic devices is vital. Cleaning electronic components during manufacturing, assembly, or maintenance processes plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal functionality. Solvents are chemical compounds specifically formulated to dissolve contaminants, residues, and impurities on electronic components without causing damage. They are designed to remove a wide range of substances such as oils, greases, flux residues, dust, and fingerprints, which can adversely affect device performance, longevity, and reliability.

infrastructure printed circuit boards

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the brains of electronics, helping to connect signals to the other components of an electronic device. They find use in medical devices, LED lighting, consumer electronics, automotive components, and more. Specialty copper clad laminates are the base material for printed circuit boards used in high-speed markets. Epoxy systems are used in the manufacture of laminates and provide properties such as heat resistance and electrical insulation. Xiran EF Curing Agent provides a good combination of dielectric performance and thermal reliability which enable the final electronics systems to meet the desired switching speeds and ensure their signal integrity.

infrastructure acid scavenger for lithium-ion batteries

The use of lithium-ion batteries is increasing in electric vehicles (EVs) as the world looks for environmentally friendly transportation options. In EVs, this rechargeable power source replaces all petrochemical-based fuels. Lithium-ion batteries use strong acids such as hydrofluoric acid inside the battery. There is a need for scavenging this acid to prevent electrode damage and improve capacity retention. Reillex™ Resins help neutralize the effect of excess acid and prolong battery life.
