4 Pressure TECHNOMELT Low Pressure Molding What is TECHNOMELT low pressure molding technology? Injection Molding TECHNOMELT Molding The TECHNOMELT molding process is a combination of injection molding and casting. Low injection pressure Short cycle times 2k-Casting Cycle time 4 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

5 Technology Highlight TECHNOMELT Low Pressure Molding TECHNOMELT Low Pressure Molding TECHNOMELT low pressure molding is a combination of injection molding and casting that provides encapsulation, sealing and strain relief to electrical / electronic components Utilizes low injection pressures and short cycle times Benefits Protects and seals sensitive components No curing enables short cycle times Uses a custom designed mold-set; any shape is possible Potential elimination of plastic housing Potential up to 50% cost savings compared to other sealing solutions Application Examples Water tight connectors Sensors Strain relief, grommets on wire harnesses PCB s Antenna coils 5 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

8 Cavist Corporation Low Pressure Molding Machines Various type of molding machines are available For small scale production with manually opened mold-set For production with higher productivity with sliding or rotary stage for moldset 8 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

9 Material for TECHNOMELT Molding - Polyamide Good adhesion to various substrates Plastics (e.g. PBT, PA, ABS, PC etc ), s-pvc, PCB etc Good electrical insulation Volume resistivity ~ Ω cm Chemical resistance Oil, alkali, acid etc Chemical structure nhooc-d-cooh Dimer acid -(2n-1)H 2 O nh 2 N-R-NH 2 Di-amine HO[OC-D-CONH-R-NH]nH Macromelt (Polyamide) 9 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

10 Material for TECHNOMELT Molding Polyolefin / Technomelt Good adhesion to non-polar material PP, PES, PET etc Good moisture resistance Good chemical resistance Polar-solvent e.g. alcohol, acid, alkali etc 11 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

11 Traditional Application Examples Water-tight connectors Harness, grommets, bushes Switches e.g. micro-switches etc Sensors e.g. temperature, pressure, proximity etc Inductive elements - ex. coils for EM-valve, antenna coils Motors - ex. stator core over-molding Automotive related electrical components 12 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

12 Application Examples Connectors Production benefit Improved productivity when switch from casting / potting resins Eliminate oven, less energy consumption, less space for oven & shelve Functional benefit water-tightness for cable and housing Protection against incidental chemical contact - e.g. oil etc Superior strain relief Main housing of connector e.g.pc, PBT, PA Cable harness Tube material e.g. s-pvc Hotmelt Water-tightness for cable & housing 14 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

13 Application Examples Grommets Production benefit Improved productivity No need to put harness one by one manually Functional benefit water-tightness Protection against chemicals e.g. oil etc Superior strain relief Grommet molded by Technomelt Cable 15 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

14 Application Examples Sensors Productive benefit Improved productivity when switch from casting / potting resins Eliminate oven, less energy consumption, less space for oven / WIP Functional benefit water-tightness Protection against chemicals e.g. oil etc Superior strain relief 17 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding

15 Application Examples Antenna Coil Over-molding Ferrite coil Copper wire Over-mold of hotmelt 19 December 3, 2015 Henkel Technomelt Low Pressure Molding
