Shin-Etsu MicroSi Introduces New Series of Fluoroelastomers Known as Shin-Etsu SIFEL Products.Business Editors/High Tech Writers PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2000 New Fluoroelastomer products are useful in many industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics/semiconductor, and chemical manufacturing, in versatile applications such as Adhesives and Coatings, Potting Gel, Fluororubber for Liquid Injection Molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. and Molding Compounds Shin-Etsu MicroSi announced the introduction of a new series of fluoroelastomer materials, known as Shin-Etsu SIFEL(c) products, developed and manufactured by its Tokyo-based parent company, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. Shin-Etsu MicroSi will market the Shin-Etsu SIFEL products primarily for the electronics, semiconductor, and specialty markets. Shin-Etsu SIFEL products are an entirely new class of fluoroelastomers, available in paste or liquid form, which cure into resilient elastomers and are highly versatile for preparation of high performance liquid injection molding and molding compounds, adhesives and coatings, and potting gels. Shin-Etsu SIFEL products can be easily fabricated fab·ri·cate tr.v. fab·ri·cat·ed, fab·ri·cat·ing, fab·ri·cates 1. To make; create. 2. To construct by combining or assembling diverse, typically standardized parts: and are exceptionally resistant to a wide variety of chemicals, including solvents, fuels, oils, and strong acids. Compared to conventional fluoroelastomers, which become solid at temperatures below 0(degree)C and lose elasticity, Shin-Etsu SIFEL products maintain elasticity, even at temperatures below -50(Degree)C. SIFEL also maintains low moisture permeability, provides excellent electrical insulation Electrical insulation A nonconducting material that provides electric isolation of two parts at different voltages. To accomplish this, an insulator must meet two primary requirements: it must have an electrical resistivity and a dielectric strength properties, is heat resistance and nonflammable non·flam·ma·ble adj. Not flammable, especially not readily ignited and not rapidly burned. through a very wide temperature range. Shin-Etsu SIFEL products allow design and processing flexibility for adhesion and coating applications exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Some examples include die-attachments, conformal coatings, and sealing for electronic and control devices used in severe exposure applications. Shin-Etsu SIFEL potting gels provide excellent low stress 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. performance for sensitive electronic components and protection in harsh environments such as fuels, solvents, and chemicals. In addition, Shin-Etsu SIFEL potting gels allow reliable transmittance of outside signals to sensors. Editor's Notes: Shin-Etsu MicroSi became a member of the Shin-Etsu chemical family in 1989 and has continuously expanded its product lines, which now include photolithography products (pellicles, photoresists, quartz substrates for photomasks, adhesion promoters, and contrast enhancement materials) and semiconductor packaging products (thermal management materials, epoxy molding compounds and underfills, flexible copper laminates, and Shin-Etsu SIFEL products). Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., the Tokyo-based chemical company, is the world's largest supplier of semiconductor materials Semiconductor materials are insulators at absolute zero temperature that conduct electricity in a limited way at room temperature (see also Semiconductor). The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be doped with impurities that alter its electronic properties , semiconductor silicon, synthetic quartz glass and PVC PVC: see polyvinyl chloride. PVC in full polyvinyl chloride Synthetic resin, an organic polymer made by treating vinyl chloride monomers with a peroxide. and a major producer of other materials including silicones, methylcellulose methylcellulose /meth·yl·cel·lu·lose/ (-sel´ul-os) a methyl ester of cellulose; used as a bulk laxative and as a suspending agent for drugs and applied topically to the conjunctiva to protect and lubricate the cornea during certain , and rare earth materials Earth materials is a general term that includes rocks and materials that are not by definition rocks but are commonly regarded as rocks. Examples of the latter are coal and volcanic glass, which are not composed of minerals. and magnets. |
