THERMOSET COMPOSITES FOR ELECTRONICS
 
 

Thermoset composites are widely used in the electronics industry due to their excellent mechanical properties, thermal stability, electrical insulation, and resistance to environmental factors.

 

Advantages of Thermoset Composites in Electronics
  • Electrical Insulation: Thermoset Composites offer excellent dielectric properties, making them suitable for protecting sensitive electronic components and preventing short circuits. 
  • Mechanical Strength: Thermoset composites are highly durable, offering high mechanical strength and dimensional stability, essential for PCBs and other electronic structures that undergo stress during manufacturing and use.  
  • Thermal Resistance: Thermosets can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for use in environments where heat dissipation and thermal stability are critical.  
  • Flam Retardancy: Thermoset composites like FR-4 are flame retardant, making them safe for use in electronics that may be exposed to high temperatures or electrical overloads.  
  • Chemical and Moisture Resistance: These materials are resistant to moisture, chemicals, and environmental degradation, which is crucial for electronics used in harsh environments, such as automotive or industrial applications.
