| TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems) –
Dow Corning has been very active in providing reliability to the tire pressure
monitoring sensors. It becomes more and more clear that in the harsh
environment of the tire, silicones are the optimal material choice. Click below
on what the leader in the field offers for this application. |
 | Gels |
| Gels are a special class of
encapsulants that cure to an extremely soft material. Cured gels retain
much of the stress relief and self-healing qualities of a liquid while
providing the dimensional stability of an elastomer. |
| Encapsulants |  |
| Encapsulants (or pottants) are
protective materials used to completely embed electronic circuitry. Typically,
they are used to isolate circuits from the harmful effects of moisture and
other contaminants, to provide electrical insulation for high voltages and to
protect a circuit and interconnections from thermal and mechanical stresses.
Encapsulants are typically applied in thick layers exceeding 125 mils. |
