NuSil Technology, a manufacturer of silicone-based materials for military, aerospace, electronics and photonics, has expanded its line of electronic packaging materials (EPMs).
 
All materials in this line will have low outgassing properties to prevent contamination. They have undergone extensive processing and maintain weight losses of less than 1% after exposure to temperatures exceeding 275°C for one hour. Other materials used in this industry are said to exhibit weight losses four to five times that of the NuSil materials.
 
Among the new offerings are potting and encapsulating materials; static-dissipative and glop top materials; dielectric gels; and thermal interface materials (TIMs), which come in grease, adhesive and gel forms.
