Epoxy Moulding Compounds (EMC) are high-performance thermosetting materials that are able to be processed using compression, transfer or injection moulding.
Automation of the injection moulding process enables short cycle times and economic production.
In the area of automation, insulation materials are required that are able to completely seal construction materials due to the low processing viscosity combined with outstanding crack-resistance.
The resulting low processing pressures also enable additional electronic components to be integrated into this single production process.
Due to miniaturisation, encapsulation materials are needed in the automotive area that feature high temperature resistance combined with good electrical insulation properties and good chemical resistance. Low processing pressures also enable additional electronics components to be integrated within a single production process.
In contrast to metals, the use of high-performance plastics enables weight to be reduced. Automation of the injection moulding process enables short cycle times and a reduction of costs.
Additionally products for computed tomography (CT scanner) require a high degree of resistance against x-rays.
In the area of electrical drive technology, insulation materials are required that possess a high degree of dimensional stability in order to securely fix the laminated core and the collector, even at high temperatures. In addition to this, good electrical insulating properties and crack resistance are required.
As a result of these specific material properties, the degree of efficiency of the drives is increased and energy is saved.
