Gluespec's Potting and Encapsulating Materials Guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting pottants and encapsulants. These protective liquids and gels are poured over printed circuit boards (PCBs) and their components and then cured. Pottants and encapsulants provide excellent protection against moisture, dust, shock, vibration, heat, electrical discharges, and other hazards that can cause electronics to fail.

Gluespec's Conformal Coatings Guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting conformal coatings for printed circuit boards (PCBs). These products are designed to conform to the shape of the PCB and its electronic components. By protecting solder joints, component leads, exposed traces, and other metalized areas, conformal coatings help to extend the life of electronics.

Gluespec's Thermal Adhesives Guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting thermally conductive adhesives for applications such as heat sinks, displays, dies and ICs, metal backplanes, silicon wafers, electrical assemblies, automotive dashboards, computers, printers, and lighting.

Gluespec's Energy Storage and Power Adhesives Guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting adhesives for battery systems (battery cells, modules, and packs), power supplies, and solar energy and wind energy applications.

This guide explains what design engineers need to know about selecting electronic component adhesives, a category of materials you can find on Gluespec. These products are designed to bond electronic components. They are used for surface-mounting parts to PCBs, potting and encapsulation, substrate assembly, and electronic repairs.
