Loctite Ultra-Clear Two-Part Silicones are for potting and sealing applications where bond line aesthetics are critical. Rapidly bond dissimilar substrates, especially glass; maintain flexibility at high and low temperatures (-60º to 450ºF). Cure to handling strength in 15 min. and offer shelf lives in excess of 12 months at room temperature.

Loctite 5620T is a fast-curing silicone that cures in 30 min. at room temperature. Loctite 5623T is a tack-free silicone gel that cures in 24 hr. at room temperature or in 1 hr. at 100ºC. Loctite 5625T is a soft, re-enterable gel silicone that allows for potting compound repair and cures in 24 hr. at room temperature or in one hour at 100ºC. All three can be manually or pneumatically dispensed.

Reportedly resist temperatures up to 230ºC and cure through large gaps and enclosed bond lines. Require no primers and are low-odor.

FlexSolder W510 is a mini-wave that handles boards up to 510 x 510 mm. Flexible design permits machine to be assembled anywhere; permits complete option upgrades in the field. Has the ability to have multiple mini-wave nozzles soldering simultaneously or running separately using two different size nozzles. A nozzle as small as 1.8 mm can be used for tight areas on densely populated boards, and a larger nozzle for making single passes on large connectors.

Dual Lane Vision X Series convection soldering system enables simultaneous lead- and Pb-free reflow in a single machine. Comes with two conveyor lanes that can be operated asynchronously at different speeds and asymmetrically with different lane widths. Can be loaded with diverse PCBs printed with different solder pastes, while a flexible heating system enables the selection of ideal reflow profiles for the separate products. Homogenous, non-separated heating and cooling zones across the entire width of the conveyor are said to increase operating convenience and reduce investment cost. Comes with air or nitrogen atmosphere and integrated residue management system.
