Silicone insulation

FAQ 30.04.2023

Does silicone insulate?

Silicones offer excellent electrical insulation properties and can be formulated in various ways to meet different needs. Silicones offer several advantages to ensure electrical and electronic insulation in areas such as industrial assembly, both upstream in the manufacturing process and downstream in terms of the reliability and durability of finished products.

Encapsulation and Potting Electronics with Silicone Solutions

Simply put, silicone-based products used in gasketing, bonding, potting and encapsulation of electronic components in industrial assembly get the job done because they can be formulated to meet very specific insulation requirements, such as the right balance between dielectric strength or electrical conductivity.

Therefore, silicone elastomers are used in high-performance applications, especially in harsh environments, where other polymeric materials will fail. They ensure reliable and durable insulation over a wide range of temperatures (from -50°C to 250°C) and extreme environmental exposure (humidity, UV, ozone).

Silicones also control the entire temperature management system of power systems by optimizing the trade-off between heat and power transfer, conduction and convection, thus reducing thermal runaway, while ensuring safety.

有机硅是什么?

有机硅是惰性合成化合物,有多种形式(油、橡胶、树脂)。通常,它们具有耐热性和橡胶的形态,它们普遍运用于密封剂、粘合剂、润滑剂、医疗、炊具和绝缘材料等。有机硅是硅与碳、氢、氧结合的聚合物,在某些情况下还含有其他元素。
