Intertronics get tough with electronic componentsThose clever people at Intertronics are getting tough with electronic components that need to be made more rugged – to be more resistant to shock, vibration and rough handling. This "toughening-up" process involves edge bonding or underfill of components with the recently introduced DYMAX 9422-SC or 9-20790 room temperature, fast, light cure adhesives. 
Light-weight high flyer potting epoxy from IntertronicsIn some applications the weight of potting electronics to protect mechanically or environmentally can be a very significant part of the overall weight of installed equipment – sometimes this can be a problem. 
Fast cure, no mixing, superior performance encapsulant from IntertronicsIntertronics' latest introduction to the world of electronic encapsulants is the Multi-Cure 9001-E series which addresses the age old problems of time and mess/mixing with consummate success. This DYMAX Multi-Cure 9001-E Series of encapsulants cure in as little as 5 seconds to provide superior moisture and abrasion resistance and thermal cycle performance of electronic and microelectronic assemblies. The fast cure on exposure to long wave UV and visible light minimizes processing and energy costs associated with alternative technologies that require mixing or elevated temperatures for curing. The 9001-E materials are all one part, so no mixing is required and consistent viscosity is maintained – in addition various viscosities are available from 400cP to 50,000cP to provide optimal coverage over various geometries. 
New clear encapsulant for LEDs from IntertronicsTechnical adhesives specialists Intertronics recently launched their Opti-tec 4200 encapsulant/potting compound and adhesive. This optically clear polyurethane is ideal for use in electronics or electrical equipment which incorporates LEDs or other items where high transparency and aesthetics are important. Its clear, non-yellowing, hard setting properties will be appreciated in outdoor signage, illumination projects, e.g. pathways, swimming pools or fountains and in large public installations. It can be used for protecting photovoltaic and solar panel projects. 
Intertronics demonstrate non-invasive nano particle mixingHave you seen the Thinky nano-level mixer from Intertronics? Seeing is certainly believing in this case, so delegates at the Nano Forum this year (3rd/4th November @ Hilton, Park Lane, London) will now be able to see demonstrations of non-invasive planetary mixing with a variety of materials. The planetary principle does not enfold air so air bubbles are simply not created and without mixing blades or similar the Thinky eliminates extreme stress peaks within the material that could otherwise damage fragile nano-particles. 
Ultra-Red fluorescing adhesives from Intertronics for high contrast bond-line inspection and product verificationIntertronics are persuading their customers to "see red" literally. The Ultra-Red fluorescing technology built into many DYMAX adhesives offers assemblers concrete advantages in plastics fabrication. 
Laboratory mixing from Intertronics now non-invasiveMixing of materials in the laboratory or for smaller production volumes is traditionally done by hand, or the use of some sort of mechanical blade, impellor or paddle to agitate the mix. These are fine in their way, being largely inexpensive, manual or simple powered tool processes, and are adequate for many mixing tasks. 
Form-in-place (FIP) gaskets from IntertronicsForm-in-place (FIP) gaskets have been part of the mainstream enclosure industry for many years but the cost and physical size of robotic application has been a major constraint for SMEs – until now. Those clever people at Intertronics have focused on bench-top robotics and matched compliant gasket materials to provide low cost equipment to suit boxes or housings from 200mm x 150mm, e.g. junction boxes, terminal boxes, control boxes, electronic housings, small mechanical gearboxes or other. They have dramatically cut entry cost to around £4,000 on the smallest – with larger equipment running right up to 800mm x 600mm machines. 
Peelable masks, conformal coatings and wire tacking materials now cured at low temperatureIntertronics has announced a new low temperature conformal coating repair, peelable masking, and wire-tacking electronic materials - now made easier and quicker with the new DYMAX BlueWave LED visible light, high-intensity spot-curing system. This low temperature spot curing system works in seconds and promises to significantly shorten process times in production and rework, by virtue of its speed of operation, as well as reduced calibration/ maintenance time compared to conventional equipment.

Cool new LED light cure saves time, extends lifeTruly cool in all senses of the word, what could be "cooler" than a visible light adhesive curing system that addresses the major disadvantages of traditional light systems? The new Bluewave™ LED system from Intertronics has no bulbs to degrade or need changing, cures without adding heat and offers constant light intensity for thousands of hours without re-calibration. This makes it ideal for visible light spot curing of coatings as well as adhesive bonding of polycarbonate, PVC, PET, metal, glass and many other substrates. 
Thermadose Hot-Melt Systems From IntertronicsIntertronics is pleased to announce the launch of the I&J Fisnar range of systems and accessories for industrial hot-melt pressure sensitive and contact adhesives. 
Intertronics and Turbo-Coat - Tack free in 3 minutes and one step ahead of the rest!Conformal coating of electronic assemblies is an often vital protection measure in industries such as automotive, aviation, consumer electronics, domestic appliances and industrial meters and controls – and it is one much under consideration at the present time. Peter Swanson, M.D. at Intertronics explained "there is always great pressure on cycle time for pcb assembly and the cure time of traditional conformal coatings is frequently seen as a bottleneck. Turbo-Coat dries tack-free in 3 minutes and we are delighted therefore that Techspray have again managed to be one step ahead of the pack. Their Turbo-Coat quick dry product is just what is needed to significantly improve efficiency in this area." 
Intertronics - put electronic mixing in a spinAn underlying principle in high technology industries seems to be that progress, real progress, is about doing more with less, keeping things simple, working smarter. The ingenious people at Intertronics certainly seem to understand the concept, which is brilliantly demonstrated in the Thinky ARE and ARV series mixers. 
Difficult to mix pharmaceuticals and cosmetics? Intertronics have the answerThinky ARV-310 and ARV-5000 planetary mixers really are the answer so far as Intertronics are concerned. Explained M.D. Peter Swanson: "This equipment is a proven solution to some of the most difficult mixing problems ever found in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. They will non-invasively mix 310g or 5000g or material from low viscosity to semi-solid or dry particle with in-situ vacuum degassing." 
Intertronics advance the cause of vacuum mixingYou would have thought that air-free mixing would be a simple process – wouldn't you? But at the laboratory or small production level it was often not the case – until those clever people at Intertronics saw the need and brought us the Thinky Mixer. The original Thinky ARE250 featured a planetary motion mixing process that by the simple expedient of not enfolding air, often completely removed the need to extract air later. The 250 has now been joined by the ARV310 and the larger capacity ARV5000, both of which have the facility to mix within a vacuum so that even micro-bubbles may be eliminated. 
Intertronics make nano-mixing easy without bubblesIn the arena of high technology and high performance materials the uniform dispersal of nano-sized particles in substrates such as resin is extremely difficult work. Traditional methods have significant problems – consequently Intertronics are pleased to announce a solution in the form of the Thinky ARV-310 mixer. 
Wire tacking - no mess - no fuss - from IntertronicsWire tacking for pcb track replacement or circuit modification is a long standing feature of both original equipment manufacture and refurbishment. However, the production people at Allgood Technology Ltd were not happy about the smell of acetone based accelerator fluid they need with their cyanoacrylate adhesive and urgently sought an alternative, finally settling on Flextac Tape Dots from Intertronics. 
Alternative art needs flexible adhesiveBaroness Carrie von Reichardt and her partner (www.myspace.com/treatmentrooms) were asked by the Mutoid Waste Co to be involved in a show called Mutate Britain where a number of well-known artists where each given pieces of a WW2 war plane and asked to let their creative juices flow. Explained the Baroness: "We were actually given two panels and had the only ceramic ones on show. One was called - 'Love the USA' and the other was called 'Drop knickers, not bombs'. One side was straightforward mosaic; the other side had tiles that had been covered in ceramic transfers and re-fired applied. These panels were drilled and hanged on display as part of this five storey show. Not a tile fell off. Rock solid thanks to your wonderful glue." 
New moisture-resistant gasketing resin for plastics from IntertronicsIntertronics is pleased to introduce a new tack-free, soft gasket material from sales partner, DYMAX, for sealing fuel cells, appliance housings, and critical electronic assemblies and devices. Light Weld® GA-140 is a UV/Visible light-curable form-in-place (FIP) and cure-in-place (CIP) gasket developed for applications requiring low compression set, tack-free surface, and durable, reliable sealing. It is a soft gasket material with high adhesion to plastics which provides a barrier to prevent absorption or penetration of air, dust, moisture, liquids and gaseous substances. 
Intertronics have the answers! The 2 most important questions in adhesive usageHow much adhesive has been applied and where? When is the adhesive fully cured? These two questions have plagued many instances of adhesive usage, often forcing "belt-and-braces" measures, generally costing valuable time. Now, Intertronics, together with sales partner, DYMAX, have what may be the first credible solution to both questions – See-Cure technology. See-Cure technology is an indicator of cure which builds a visible quality assessment factor into the assembly process. The colour change is directly linked to the photo-initiator in the adhesive. 
Light enhancing, heat dissipating silicones from IntertronicsThe increasing power and colour ranges of LEDs over recent years has led to their extended use in many outdoor lighting, signalling and indicating applications – from swimming pools to motor vehicles. This has highlighted the twin problems of heat dissipation and clarity within a protected housing. Now Intertronics are able to offer a Silicone Solution! – their range of silicone elastomers from sales partner ACC Silicones include optically clear encapsulants, a range of gels and rubbers with differing cure cycles and physical properties. Together with harder silicone elastomers they can offer a product for most LED potting applications which require non-yellowing optical clarity. In particular they can offer refractive index from 1.40 to 1.49, with an exciting new product now available at 1.53. 
Intertronics moves conformal coating ahead of the gameFirst level defence of electronic assemblies is often a post-assembly dielectric spray used to protect against moisture, bio-hazards and low level mechanical problems. Now Intertronics' sales partner DYMAX Corp have trialled their Dual-Cure 9481 Conformal Coating, showing significant improvements over previously available products. 
Unusual application - they nail horses shoes - don't they? asks IntertronicsYes indeed the technical team at Intertronics found that they do nail horses shoes – but in the process of custom fitting each shoe a farrier will generate a lot of impact energy on his anvil – not only does this cause the ear damaging "ringing" sound but also generates a potentially damaging reflective shock wave up the hammer into the farrier's body and moves the anvil while working. This problem has been recognised for some time and may be addressed by use of a percussive pad placed under the anvil. So when Ian Payne at Hand Made Shoes was looking to manufacture really effective pads he found he needed a high-grade impact resistant adhesive to hold them together. The Intertronics answer was Araldite® 2040 flexible polyurethane adhesive. Adhesive from Intertronics which tells you when it's readyIntertronics sales partner DYMAX have created "See-Cure" technology as a visual indicator for their UV cure adhesives by colour changing from original blue to clear during the curing process. This innovative approach greatly aids industrial assembly processes, whether the application is medical, electronic, aerospace or automotive. In each case it is essential to know that sufficient adhesive has been dispensed and that a full cure is effected – "See-Cure" colour change technology enables this to be determined at a glance. 
DYMAX BlueWave® LED system now CE marked from IntertronicsThe DYMAX BlueWave® LED visible light, high-intensity spot-curing system from Intertronics offers many advantages over traditional UV spot curing systems including no bulbs to change, cool cures, no warm-up, and constant intensity for thousands of hours. Now this popular system is CE marked for UK customers and can add processing benefits to users of light curing adhesives - for example bonding of polycarbonate, PVC, PET, metal, glass and many other substrates, as well as spot curing of coatings. 
Fine mist lubricant system from IntertronicsThe precision liquid dispensing specialists at Intertronics have introduced a new lubricant application system from I & J Fisnar for machine parts that require constant lubricating of their surface areas, such as gears and rollers – these can now be serviced by the use of a precision IJF SV1217 Spray Valve and programmable controller IJF SVC100 which precisely directs a fine mist of lubricant to the moving part using time and pressure sequencing and can keep pace with fast revolving machinery up to 400 cycles per minute while accommodating lubricant viscosities up to 1000 cps.
