According to Cotronics, its Durabond™ 7032 stainless steel aluminum putty has the ability to bond, repair, and seal high-temperature equipment up to 2,000˚F. 

Room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicones are well-known for their extreme durability. They are convenient one-component sealants that cure by reaction with moisture from the atmosphere.

IPC’s January 2022 global electronics manufacturing supply chain sentiment report found that materials and labor costs continue to be the largest issue facing the electronics supply chain.

A new study from IPC about the current state of advanced packaging in the semiconductor value chain finds that urgent action is required to strengthen the domestic packaging ecosystem to meet increased production of semiconductor chips.

The ASSEMBLY Show will return October 24-26, live and in person at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IlI.

The methods for dispensing adhesives, epoxies, grease, silicone, oils, sealants, and a multitude of other assembly fluids cover a wide spectrum of techniques—from manual applications like squeeze bottles, toothpicks, and hand-plunger syringes to semi-automated tabletop dispensing robots. Each dispensing method presents unique challenges as manufacturers attempt to scale the sophistication of their fluid dispensing processes to meet requirements for quality, volume throughput, and cost efficiency.

Ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) curing technology offers significant advantages compared to traditional mercury UV curing. As a result, adhesive bonding, sealing, and coating processes in factory assembly lines are rapidly upgrading to UV LED curing technology.
