In some applications the weight of potting electronics to protect
mechanically or environmentally can be a very significant part of the
overall weight of installed equipment – sometimes this can be a problem.
So those clever people at Intertronics have come up with some very
advanced light-weight epoxy potting technology which brings the density
right down to 0.6. The “adhere” IRS2012 is an exciting development for
weight critical applications, e.g. in aerospace or autosport and is
potentially of great significance for mainstream automotive systems and
even railway systems where it is increasingly recognized that weight
saving leads to fuel savings and a reduced carbon footprint.

“adhere” IRS2012 is not only very light on account of its advanced
fillers, but is also very RF transmissive and is effectively transparent
to radio signals, with excellent electrical properties, low cure
shrinkage, good chemical resistance and good mechanical properties –
highly suitable in fact for potting of aerials and related equipment.

The black two-part “adhere” IRS2012 is available in twin pack sachets
which may be mixed and transferred to a syringe for precision application
if required. Further information regarding Intertronics’ products can be
found at www.intertronics.co.uk.
