Perhaps the most notable advantage of using a UV-cured acrylated urethane as the mask in an electronics assembly process is that it is fast enough to speed up your manufacturing operations on the whole. Thus it allows you to create an automated assembly line without long racking times...read more

A manufacturer of utility vehicles — boom trucks for industrial buyers — determined that the welding process used for bonding two cold-rolled steel parts in wheel wells was not up to its standards. Not only was it time-consuming to weld the parts together, the weld spots showed signs of corrosion as the trucks aged. The company decided to seek out alternatives to welding, in the hopes of both smoothing its assembly line processes and improving the quality of its vehicles.

This is a silicone encapsulant defined by its transparency, wide usable temperature range and ability to effectively encapsulate nearly all porous and nonporous substrates. The versatility and user-friendliness of Dow 184 make it a go-to choice across many types of manufacturing.
