Silicone applications for transportation on-board electronics
Cutting-edge solutions for potting, encapsulation and protection of key components
Silicone is a popular material used in the transportation industry for on-board electronics due to its superior properties like durability, heat resistance, and its ability to maintain performance even in extreme environmental conditions. Silicone is also used in aerospace and aeronautic applications to provide reliable electrical insulation and sealing for components in aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft.
Potting & encapsulation silicones protecting on-board electronics
Allow your electronics to last longer and provide better performances thanks to silicones potting and encapsulations.
Silicone is commonly used in aerospace and aeronautic applications for potting and sealing electronics due to its ability to form a strong waterproof seal and maintain flexibility over a wide temperature range. Potting and sealing with silicone allows for the protection of sensitive electrical components from extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture, and chemical corrosion.
