EMS 561-567 snap cure conductive adhesive is for stringing or shingling applications in crystalline silicon and thin-film solar modules. Is designed to electrically interconnect solar cells using ribbons or direct cell-to-cell contact. Is stress-absorbing, designed to withstand the rigors of thermal cycling, and reportedly features excellent conductive stability to cell and ribbon metallization during damp heat exposure. Cures in seconds at 150°C to 180°C.

Elpecast Wepesil VU 4675 elastic silicone casting compound features a shore-A-hardness of 30–40 and a high permanent thermal resistance of up to 200°C. Protects and insulates electronic components and assembled PCBs against extreme climatic conditions and aggressive media. Ceramic fillers aid thermal conductivity of approx. 1.2 W/m*K. Suited to applications where heat is to be dissipated rapidly from high power LEDs to a wide area. Gray, solvent-free; resists chemicals and weathering. Classified as hardly flammable due to its chemical characteristics. Removable for repairs. Mixing ratio of 1:1 parts by volume or weight. Cures at room temperature but may be accelerated by heat (e.g., 15 min at 125°C).

LAS 1200 extraction and filtration system purifies laser fumes and laser dusts. Airflow is led through five different filtration stages. Based on multiple air purification and the utilization of efficient filter media, filter combination is said to ensure a 99.9% separation rate. In the prefilter and main filter stages, solid particles down to the nano range are separated; filtration or adsorption of gases and vapours is executed in an activated carbon filter, utilizing a high-performance fan with large pressure reserve. Is suited for capture and filtration of dry, noncombustible dusts occurring during material processing that uses lasers. Purifies dusts, gases and vapors from processes such as laser cutting, laser welding, laser marking or laser ablation. Can be used stationary or as a mobile unit.
