What do Fill-Level Sensor Encapsulation Adhesives do?

Fill-level sensors used in gas canister monitoring require robust encapsulation to protect sensitive electronics from ingress and environmental stress.

DELO-GUM silicone adhesives are used to encapsulate PCBs in PolyOxyMethylene (POM) plastic housings. These one-part adhesives provide good adhesion both to the POM housing and the FR4 within, and also reliably seal the components from the gas being measured. In addition, because there is a neutral cross-linking of the adhesive, there is no potential for corrosion of the electronic components.

DELO’s silicone sealants are easy to dispense from 310ml Eurocartridges, and curing at RT at a rate of 2mm / 24hrs means that there is no need for an additional curing process (such as heat or UV light).

Why DELO-GUM for Sensor Encapsulation?

  • One-Part, Moisture-Cured Silicone: Simplifies application and eliminates the need for heat or UV curing.
  • Excellent Adhesion: Bonds effectively to both PolyOxyMethylene (POM) plastic housings and FR4 circuit boards.
  • Neutral Cross-Linking: Prevents corrosion of sensitive electronic components.
  • High Resistance: Withstands temperature extremes, chemical exposure, and ageing.
  • Easy Dispensing: Supplied in 310ml Eurocartridges for convenient manual or automated application.

Application Process:

The adhesive is dispensed into the POM housing to encapsulate the PCB. Curing occurs at room temperature at a rate of approximately 2mm per 24 hours, allowing for flexible production scheduling without additional curing equipment.

Performance Benefits:

  • Corrosion-Free Sealing: Ideal for gas-sensitive environments.
  • No Additional Curing Required: Reduces energy consumption and equipment costs.
  • High Purity: Suitable for sensitive electronics and sensor assemblies.
  • Flexible Processing: Compatible with both manual and automated workflows.
  • Fill-level sensors in gas canisters
  • PCB encapsulation in harsh environments
  • Sealing of electronic modules in automotive and industrial applications
