Epoxy

IBS Electronics offers a full range of general-purpose epoxy, specialty epoxy, silicone and urethane solutions. From conductive epoxy, conductive silicone, electronic assembly epoxies and epoxies for encapsulation to flame-retardant epoxy, gel epoxies, potting adhesive, silicones for assembly, thermal epoxy, electrically conductive coatings and other specialty epoxies.

Epoxy products are used for potting and encapsulating coils, transformers, circuit boards, magnetic components, marine sonar and noise interference filters and surge protectors. Special systems are used for applications on circuit boards, fiber optics, light emitting diodes and other adhesive applications.

Epoxy resins are widely used in the electronics industry due to their excellent electrical and mechanical properties, as well as their ability to protect against chemicals and high temperatures. They safeguard electrical components from dust, moisture, and short circuits while providing better thermal conductivity than air, which helps dissipate heat more efficiently and extend component life.

In electronics, potting refers to the process of encapsulating an electronic component within a mold, or “pot,” using a gel-like material, such as epoxy. This technique is commonly applied to high-voltage assemblies like transformers and switchboards to provide permanent protection against shock, vibration, corrosion, moisture, and water.
