Protective gels for PCBs have been developed in recent years in response to many of the conditions noted earlier to solve unique problems in PCB reliability. These gels are in most cases based on the same or similar chemistry to traditional conformal coatings including acrylics, urethanes, and UV curable acrylated urethanes. HumiSeal® UV20GEL is a recent innovation from the polymer scientists at HumiSeal.

DOWSIL™ TC-3065 Thermally Conductive Gel is a recipient of the 2021 BIG Innovation Awards! The BIG Innovation Awards recognizes organizations, products and people that are bringing new ideas to life in innovative ways.

The LSE (low surface energy) materials used in some POP display designs can pose adhesion problems when designing assembling a new unit. Recylced materials and UV coatings/inks can also add to the bonding challenge.

In the new, booming Electric vehicles (EV) market, EV battery packs are a key component. Thermal management is critical for EV battery pack safety and lifetime. For EV battery heat dissipation, thermal conductive gap filler is likely to become a key type of thermal interface material.
