Customizable LPM System meets your specific demand
Protect electronics in three simple steps with sustainable, cost-effective: LPM Machine – LPM Mold Sets – LPM Service
1. What is Low-Pressure Molding?
Electronic components need to be protected against moisture, dust dirt, vibration, and even temperature. Low Pressure Molding is an advanced method to take charge of this function with a gentle but reliable encapsulation around the electronic assemblies, especially the delicate ones.
2. Pros and Cons of Low-Pressure Molding
Main Advantages:
- Sustainable and reworkable 1K Materials
- The excellence of moisture, chemical, and high-temperature resistance; Watertight encapsulation; Good mechanical strength
- Simple process – fast cycle times
GLUMO Low-Pressure Molding Solution is able to solve almost all of challenges raising during process of traditional potting, sealing and conformal coating for electronic protecting application.
