Electrolube, leading electro-chemical manufacturer, has added a new silicone resin to its long established encapsulation resin range. This innovative product, SC3001, will add to an already impressive portfolio and will be on display at Electronex, electronics design and assembly expo in Sydney, Australia from September 8-9.

Currently only available in Australia and China, the new resin is a two-part encapsulation compound that has been designed to be optically clear and flexible, making it ideal for the LED industry where optical clarity is vital.

SC3001 features a number of benefits over its competitors, including low viscosity and excellent electrical properties and flexibility. It also exhibits excellent resistance to water and a wide variety of chemicals, therefore providing the highest protection in a range of environments.

The product is flame retardant, and remains flexible over an exceptionally wide temperature range  of -60 to +200 degree Celcius. It is also RoHS compliant and is particularly suited to applications where thin films are required due to its moisture cure nature. Additionally, automatic mixing equipment is available when bulk mixing, which will mix both the resin and hardener accurately in the correct ratio, without introducing air.

Due to SC3001's impressive features, the silicone resin is expected to be popular within a number of different industries. The product is due to be launched into the European market later in the year.

Electrolube's extensive portfolio of products includes contact lubricants, cleaning solutions, conformal coatings, thermally conductive materials, resins and service and maintenance aids. Visit http://www.electrolube.com.au/ for further information, or visit stand D15 at Electronex in Sydney, Australia.
