For engineers who need help with product selection, this Q&A from Gluespec® provides answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about industrial cleaners.

TapeCase of Elk Grove Village, Illinois converts tapes, films, foils, foams, rubber, thermal management materials and other flexible materials into highly engineered products.

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.
