We have all seen and experienced so many changes over the past few months. COVID-19 has caused a health crisis on a level most of us hadn’t even imagined, beyond the pages of dystopian fiction.
The potting of electronic components involves filling the assembly with a compound such as liquid resin (e.g., epoxy, silicone, polyurethane) to protect it from environmental or use conditions like moisture, humidity, and vibration. Any air entrapment in the potting compound can result in air bubbles that may cause performance problems in the finished component.
The organizations reportedly developed this program after recognizing the benefits of certification for chemists and analysts in laboratories that focus on analyzing industrial hygiene samples.
AIHA, AIHA Registry Programs, and the National Registry of Certified Chemists (NRCC) recently announced the launch of a joint program for the certification of industrial hygiene (IH) chemists and analysts.
Tammo Boinowitz, Ph.D., will become managing director of BYK-Chemie GmbH on January 1, 2021; he will become president of BYK after a two-month training and transitional phase.
The correct adjustment of flow characteristics of sealants and thermosetting adhesives is crucial to their performance in automated, high-speed production environments.
The automated application of sealants and adhesives in settings such as automotive production requires that predictable, reproducible quantities are applied, and that they flow properly and remain in place during the final setting period.
This second installment of a two-part series higlights the value proposition of independent material testing and validation to high-value end-use markets.
Independent testing and third-party validation of application-specific and customer-required adhesive products are expected across the value chain. It is especially important to validate adhesive performance for the electronics industry.
The CEN standards that have been approved and now published relate to the testing of yield, expansion, application, mechanical strength, and insulation.
