Silicone potting & encapsulants for medical electronics
Solution essentials
- Soft gels: stress relief and vibration/shock protection for delicate boards and sensors.
- Encapsulants / potting: environmental and mechanical protection; choose hardness and cure for the assembly.
- Low outgassing: controlled-volatility grades where outgassing would fog optics or foul sensors.
- Thermal: thermally conductive silicone for power/heat management; moisture permeability means pair with hermetic design for sensitive electronics.
What BIO provides
BIO provides selection, process support and supply of NuSil / Avantor potting, gel, encapsulant and thermally conductive silicone for China medical-electronics and sensor makers.
FAQ
What silicone is used to pot medical electronics?
Soft gels for stress relief, and encapsulants/potting compounds for environmental and mechanical protection; thermally conductive grades where heat must be managed.
When do I need a low-outgassing (controlled-volatility) silicone?
Whenever outgassing could fog optics or contaminate sensors/optoelectronics — controlled-volatility grades minimize volatile content for these assemblies.
Can silicone potting keep moisture out of active electronics?
It protects and relieves stress but is moisture-permeable — it is not a hermetic barrier. Sensitive active electronics should pair silicone with a hermetic design.
