Challenges – Potting Compound Market
Effects of heat generation to potting compounds
Growing demand for ever-increasing output rates at lower unit costs, ensuring that electronic circuits work as expected over an extended period is becoming increasingly difficult. Delicate materials, heavily packed printed circuit boards (PCBs), confining packaging, and highly stressful service conditions have the potential to contribute to higher failure rates due to excessive heat build-up and electrical interference. Electronic designs are smaller in size and provide more power which requires higher temperatures to operate. To maintain a long service life and high reliability, they must be able to efficiently dissipate the heat. The heat from the curing reaction causes fragile components to be fried. Also, a printed circuit board has components that, when potted, produce large levels of heat causing problems. Hence, heat generation problems in PCBs and other electronic circuits will further create hurdles for the potting compounds market in the forecast period.
Market Landscape
Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Potting Compound Market. Major players in the Potting Compound Market are ACC Silicones Ltd., Dymax Corporation, Elantas Beck India Ltd., Intertronics, Epic Resins, Electrolube, EFI Polymers, MG Chemicals, Master Bond Inc., Henkel AG & Co.
