Introducing Dymax: Innovators in Light-Curable solutions for Aerospace
Dymax stands at the forefront of developing UV and LED light-curable materials tailored for both crewed and uncrewed aerospace applications, including satellites, missiles, and spacecraft. UST is thrilled to announce our partnership with Dymax as a supplier, and we will be showcasing their innovative solutions and expertise across our platforms over the coming year.
New Supplier Profile Launch
We are excited to unveil Dymax’s UST supplier profile, crafted in collaboration with their team. This Silver profile highlights their advanced light-curing materials, which are essential for bonding and safeguarding printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic subassemblies, and optical components in critical aerospace and defense operations.
Exploring Dymax’s Product Range
discover the range of Dymax’s adhesives, coatings, and maskants:
Conformal Coatings for Enhanced Protection
Dymax conformal coatings are designed to shield substrates and component surfaces from the harsh environments that PCBs frequently enough encounter. These solvent-free materials cure in mere seconds under UV/Visible or LED light, significantly reducing processing time while enhancing manufacturing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
These coatings offer superior protection against moisture,dust,corrosion,and other environmental challenges. For applications with shadowed areas, formulations with secondary heat-cure capabilities are also available.
Rapid-Curing Epoxy Adhesives
Dymax epoxy adhesives cure quickly under UV/Visible light, facilitating the swift and precise assembly of optical components and camera modules. They are ideal for bonding lens barrels, CCD or CMOS dies, and rigid PCBs, as well as for active alignment tasks.
These adhesives are resistant to moisture and thermal cycling, meeting the stringent low-shrinkage and low-outgassing standards required for satellite and spacecraft avionics. Options with secondary heat-cure functionality ensure complete curing in areas that may be shadowed from light exposure. Compatible substrates include LCP, PCB, PPS, FPC, and various metallic surfaces.
Innovative Masking Solutions
Dymax SpeedMask maskants address numerous challenges in PCB and electronics manufacturing, especially in protecting components during conformal coating processes. These materials can adapt to intricate geometries and cure rapidly when exposed to UV/Visible light, offering a modern alternative to traditional, time-consuming masking methods like wax, tape, and lacquer.
SpeedMask can be applied thru dipping, spraying, or screen printing in a single layer, making them ready for production almost promptly. They are easily removable post-cure, leaving behind a clean, residue-free surface.Additionally, these maskants are eco-pleasant, solvent-free, and provide a one-component solution compared to conventional two-part solvent-based options.
