Technomelt PA 668 N for Transparent Electronic Encapsulation and Molding
Henkel Technomelt PA 668 N is a clear polyamide hot melt adhesive designed for low pressure molding and encapsulation applications requiring transparency. This one-component thermoplastic material provides strong mechanical performance, high Shore A hardness, and reliable environmental protection for electronic assemblies. It is well suited for applications where visual inspection of encapsulated components is necessary.
Technical Advantages of PA 668 N for Optical Encapsulation
-
Optical Transparency: Clear formulation allows visual inspection of encapsulated components without obstruction.
-
Low Pressure Process Compatibility: Designed for low pressure molding to protect sensitive electronics during encapsulation.
-
High Shore A Hardness (90): Provides structural stability and durable protective coverage.
-
Strong Mechanical Strength: 5.5 N/mm² yield strength and 8.5 N/mm² break strength support long-term reliability.
-
High Elongation (600%): Maintains flexibility while resisting cracking under mechanical stress.
