Discover the power of silicone alternatives in electronics. Explore the cases where avoiding silicone becomes crucial due to manufacturing challenges. Unleash innovative solutions in harsh environments.
Silicone-based chemistry formulations are used throughout electronic applications, and for good reason. Silicone has many properties that make it ideal for harsh conditions, as it can withstand vibration, high temperatures, chemicals and extreme environments. Given these attributes (and others), silicone is often used as the base chemistry for thermal interface materials (TIMs). However, there are situations where silicone use is not desired or permitted. Silicone volatiles can be problematic in some manufacturing environments. So, what’s the solution?
