The electronics industry is one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world. As such, it is important for electronics companies to stay up-to-date on the latest innovations in the silicone, tape & industrial film industries. Silicone Expo and TFF Expo Europe is the perfect opportunity for electronics companies to network with suppliers, manufacturers and industry experts.
Almost 200,000 tons of silicone products are used in electronics every year. Silicones are used in electronics because they protect various electronic components from heat, shock, and contaminants. Technological advances provide increasing transistors and components inside compact devices. Silicones become integral technology of electronic devices we depend on.
Conformal coatings are used to protect sensitive electronic components from environmental factors they may be exposed to. For this reason, they are often used to prevent the board from corroding. The electronic components are more exposed to environmental factors, such as moisture, salt and temperature changes. These factors can cause electronic components to fail. With conformal coatings which are usually applied by spin coating, the technique of coating the board fibrous network allows of controlling the coating’s thickness and can help to prevent.
Conformal coatings are indoor surface coatings that work to minimize moisture penetration in electronic devices. To accomplish this, breathable materials give moisture an escape point and keep potentially harmful contaminants from entering electronic components and circuitry. Because conformal coatings are not sealants, prolonged exposure to vapors will usually cause wire transmission and device degradation to occur. Conformal coatings can typically fit in four classes: Acrylic, Ureth, Silicone, and Varnish.
Based on their organic makeup, many have the ability to perform the following jobs:
- Insulation is allowing closer conductor spacing.
- The need for “complex enclosures”
- Very minimal effect on components weight
- Machine wholes liners against chemical and corrosive attack
- Reduce performance degradation due to environmental hazards
- Minimize environmental stress on a printed circuit board
For electronics companies, Silicone Expo and Tape & Functional Film Expo Europe are important events to attend because they offer the opportunity to network with suppliers, manufacturers and industry experts and offer electronics companies the chance to stay up-to-date on the latest innovations in the silicone and tape industry.
In addition to networking, attending the trade show provides an opportunity to learn about the latest industry trends. These events offer a wealth of information for attendees, making it easy to stay ahead of the competition. Plus, with so many suppliers and manufacturers in one place, it’s easy to find the best deals on the latest products and services.
Early bird registration has officially opened for co-located shows Silicone Expo and Tape & Functional Film Expo Europe, with just under five months to go until doors open at the RAI Amsterdam on March 21-23, 2023! Following on from the success of the 2021 show, the events will return to the RAI Amsterdam in 2023, bringing together the entire silicone and tape & functional film value chain under one roof.
With a wide range of exhibitors, the Expo is sure to be a must-attend event for anyone involved in the silicone or tape & functional film industries.
