Recent innovations in the electronics industry, such as hybrid vehicles, mobile electronic devices, medical applications, digital cameras, computers, defense telecommunications, and augmented reality headsets, touch nearly every part of our lives.

Meridian Adhesives Group recently announced that its Electronics Division will begin serving the electric vehicle (EV) market with custom solutions. 

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.

EpoxySet recently announced that it supplies EC-1012M/EH-20 flame-resistant potting compound for protecting power supplies, high-voltage batteries, coil windings, transformers, PC boards, and other electronic devices.

Epoxies, Etc. has published a technical bulletin focused on low-outgassing epoxy adhesives and potting compounds.
