Industrial engineered adhesives & potting systems processed in a volume production environment will only perform to their cured specifications when a dedicated process is developed for handling, mixing, applying, and curing them.

 

When selecting a resin that meets your cured performance requirements, the manufacturing process is as equally important to consider as the polymer itself. A single chemistry may exhibit cured properties suitable for numerous applications, however, different working times, cure times, temperatures, and viscosities may be needed in order to properly fill and perform in your specific product. We develop industrial potting & adhesive solutions based on your product's unique requirements, and within your company’s manufacturing process capabilities.

 

From a fully automated production process to hand mixing,
CDx Industrial will carefully study the following process attributes:

 

• Production volume goals per day

• Dispensing flow rate

• Shot size/volume of each fill

• Complex geometry

• Proper mixing, especially with wide disparity ratios and viscosities

• Wetting and settling time within the part, and over-all rheology

• How to eliminate air bubbles, pooling and voids (utilizing vacuum where necessary)

• Homogeneous filler management in filled resins (from container to machine to part)

• Room temp cure or heat cure

• Critical Temperatures:

  • Careful attention to preheat temp limits of material, molds, tooling and part

  • Controlling Exotherm and shrinkage

  • Unique cure schedules that allow the polymer network to cure without inducing stress
