Intertronics have recently introduced two new variants of their high-performance Opti-tec 4200 polyurethane encapsulating/potting compound and adhesive. Opti-tec 4210 is “water white clear” and is very hard (Shore D 80) - giving it excellent scratch-resistance. Opti-tec 4210 is ideal for the potting and protection of LED lighting projects, including LED tracks, arrays and luminaires, and protection of electronics located outside or li...

The use of “water white clear” potting compounds and encapsulants has increased substantially with the growth in LED lighting technology – Opti-tec 4200 from Intertronics is a high performance example. It is a low viscosity optically clear, non-yellowing polyurethane compound ideal for potting of LEDs and electronics, even in external situations where encapsulation with Opti-tec 4200 protects lighting and associated components f...

Intertronics recently introduced the new DYMAX MD 1901-M, a flexible, high-performance, LED-curable coating for medical micro circuits of the type used in hearing aids, wound-care devices and medical pumps - where its ability to be tack free immediately after curing helps prevent defects that could occur as a result of components being handled too soon. Compatible sterilisation methods include gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide, as well as auto...

In setting up a new production project for in-house potting of temperature probes the engineers at Variohm considered a number of well-known industry standard potting compounds – and they called in the materials specialists at Intertronics.

The new CircuitMedic Micro Drill system from Intertronics is versatile and powerful – making it ideal for milling, drilling, grinding, cutting and sanding circuit boards. It removes coating, cuts circuits, cuts leads, drills holes, cuts slots, shapes FR4 and performs many other procedures using various interchangeable bits.

As technologies develop in industries such as electronics, energy, packaging, medical devices, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and automotive, Intertronics have understood the need for ever more precise, reliable dispensing of micro quantities of adhesives and similar materials.

These days, we can find microcapsules in almost every industrial sector, where they take numerous roles. However, dispensing these fragile materials can be a problem since clearly it is important that the microcapsules be undamaged by the dispensing process. In adhesive technology, microcapsules can fulfil several functions. For example, microcapsules may be an integral part of the control of reaction and curing processes. Some anaerobic “t...

This year at Mediplas - on stand L42 - Intertronics will be focusing on how to address issues such as biocompatibility, component validation, structural integrity and production simplicity in the bonding of plastic-to-plastic and plastic to other materials – in applications from simple consumable components to complex equipment.

Intertronics have today announced the DYMAX family of solvent free UV curable resins offering significant improvements in reliability, worker safety, ease of use, quality of process outcome and actual piece part operation cost in comparison to traditional methods. Scrappage losses in production of high value mechanical components is a vital consideration in improving quality and efficiency of manufacture.

The engineers at Intertronics are well aware of the advantages of UV curing for adhesives, coatings and inks in the automotive, electronic, optical and medical device assembly industries, where they can greatly speed production cycles, enhance quality and reduce piece part cost.

Intertronics are delighted to introduce the new Fisnar QuantX system to the UK where it is expected to be of great value in any industrial or related application where a dispensing syringe barrel is used for application of materials.

Contract Electronics Manufacturer CT Production recently contacted Intertronics when they needed to expand their robotic capability for a low energy lighting product – explained CT Production MD Alan Trevarton, “It is company strategy to compete with offshore manufacturing by lowering costs using robotics - compared with manual operatives the benefits are greater flexibility, continuous working, reduced mess and cleanup, plus enhanced consist...

A quick and simple solution was required to provide added security for one of Ford Components Manufacturing Ltd’s laminated metal shim pack products. Known as edgepeel, the pack provides a number of shims, to specific customer requirements, that can be quickly and easily selected at the point of assembly thus speeding up production. These thin steel shims are normally held together by their oil coating, but in a specialist application, a more r...

A specialist precision dispensing technology webinar will be hosted on 2nd May at 11am by Intertronics Managing Director Peter Swanson with technical manager Paul Whitehead.

Designed for rapid masking of electronic components and assemblies, the new Ultra-Light Weld 9-20479-B from Intertronics provides protection from reflow or wave soldering processes and shields no-go areas during conformal coating application. This easily dispensed mask enables accurate placement and cures in seconds to maximize production throughput with the highest levels of quality.

The newest product launched by Intertronics is the preeflow eco-DUO450 which offers precision metering and mixing of two component materials with dial-in ratios up to 5:1. This is expected to be of value where expensive materials such as silver loaded conductive epoxies, silicones or polyurethanes are dispensed in small quantities for either dots or beads.

At first glance the eco-PEN series of preeflow volumetric dosing dispensers from Intertronics appear to be very similar and this is largely true with the eco-PEN 300, 450 and 600 all showing the same better than 1% accuracy through ViscoTec’s unique patented “endless piston” design. However, there are subtle and important differences to be considered; in particular the eco-PEN 300 is suited to a wide range of low to high viscosity materials...

Low cost versatile robots are becoming increasingly popular in the production environment and this latest Fisnar F5200N gantry model from Intertronics offers huge flexibility for dispensing operations. It joins the largest range of dispensing robots for a tremendous range of applications, including form-in-place gaskets, adhesives, potting, coating and filling.

Increasing production throughput of bonded plastic assemblies is high on the list of priorities these days for both design and production engineers judging from the experience of the adhesive specialists at Intertronics. In these situations Intertronics are delighted to offer the DYMAX Ultra Light-Weld 3069 which is a UV/Visible light-curable adhesive designed for rapid bonding and laminating of a variety of plastic substrates. This high perfor...

The new DYMAX BlueWave LED DX-1000 is a unique and flexible 385 nm LED curing system that can be configured to operate as either a small-area flood or spot-cure system. In flood mode, up to 1 W/cm2 can be delivered over a 1” x 1” (2.5cm x 2.5cm) area. In spot mode, a single or multi-pole lightguide can be installed into an optional adapter to deliver up to 15 W/cm2 in a high-intensity spot.
