The electrical and electronic units selection and applications of resins to the electrical and electronics units for impregnation and/or embedment

The evaluation of new resins for use as impregnants and/or for embedment of electrical and electronic units is a very difficult process. One of the major problems with the development of new resins is they must be used for a great variety of applications. A new material which has been developed can produce its optimum performance only when it is applied in a fashion which will allow the development of these optimum characteristics. Only too often a user does not get the proper performance because he uses the same method of impregnation or embedment as he has used for other materials. It is strongly recommended that in investigating a new product that some of the effort be expended varying the methods of application to optimize these rather than simply trying to make a new product fit in with the old practices. Tests or method of application are extremely valuable to the end user and more than just a guide in the results obtained.
