Momentive Launches FRV138 Fluorosilicone Encapsulant to Protect Components from Shock, Heat and Chemicals
Momentive Performance Materials today announced the introduction
of FRV138 two-component fluorosilicone encapsulant, a single product
that may help protect sensitive components from both chemicals and
mechanical stresses such as shock and heat.
FRV138 encapsulant is a firm gel with a wide potential range of
applications in the automotive, aerospace and chemical industry, where
components need protection to withstand exposure to harsh environments
such as extreme heat, cold or mechanical shock. FRV138 fluorosilicone
encapsulant exhibits minimal absorption of fuels, oils, solvents or
other chemical vapors and liquids.
"By developing a fluorosilicone encapsulant that offers both
mechanical and chemical protection, we are enhancing the production of
electronics and other sensitive components that can function better
and longer in tough operating situations," said Jim Papa, marketing
manager.
The consistency and excellent dispensing characteristics of FRV138
encapsulant make it an excellent candidate for protection of delicate
parts in applications where small or deep crevices must be filled.
FRV138 encapsulant is heat curable at 90(degree)C and retains its
elastomeric properties in a range of temperatures from -40(degree)C to
150(degree)C. The material can be applied to many substrates without
the use of a primer.
