Encapsulate electronics with RIM PUR.New RIM polyurethane technology for encapsulating the sensitive electronics of power supplies such as chargers for cell phones or electric toothbrushes is said to provide a watertight seal and protect against electric shock. Now being introduced in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. by Linden Industries, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio Cuyahoga Falls is a city in Summit County, Ohio, United States. As of the 2003 census, the city population was 50,375. It is currently the second largest city in Summit County. It is considered a suburb of both Akron and Cleveland, but is actually older than Akron. , the technology was developed jointly by Swiss equipment manufacturer Isotherm isotherm, line drawn on a map of a particular region of the earth's surface connecting points of equal temperature; each point reflects one temperature reading or an average of several readings over a period of time. AG, Germany's Bayer MaterialScience Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is an independent subgroup within Bayer AG. It was created as part of the restructuring of Bayer AG from the former business group Bayer Polymers, with certain of its activities being spun off to Lanxess AG. AG, and Finland's Slacomp Oy, which produces chargers for Motorola, Sony-Ericsson, Braun, and Remington. With this technology, electronics are encapsulated in a solid, light-weight, seamless casing of Baydur E polyurethane from Bayer MaterialScience (U.S. office in Pittsburgh). This replaces the two conventional thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. shells. Along with the watertight seal, PUR's good thermal properties result in a product roughly 20% to 30% smaller than thermoplastic housings. The encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming. (2) The transmission of one network protocol within another. is said to be so thorough that the electronics are completely protected from moisture and dust. The power supplies are made in a one-step manufacturing process, whereby liquid PUR is injected by Isotherm high-pressure RIM equipment into a dosed mold containing the electronic components. The material surrounds the components and cures in less than 3 min. The cord and components are completely encapsulated and cannot be pulled out or loosened, and the flame-retardant PUR provides added protection. Relatively low processing temperature protects the electronics during encapsulation. Tel: 330-928-4064 * PT Direct: 898MR [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
