Shin-Etsu KJR silicones are used extensively in the manufacture of ICs, transistors, diodes and other semiconductor devices. KJR-4013E is a flexible, moisture-cure silicone most often used as junction-coating resins in the manufacture of diodes. KJR-651E, KJR-655E and KJR-657E are rigid thermoset polyimide-silicones used as junction coating resins in the manufacture of higher power diodes and [...]

Generally speaking, the acrylic adhesive will have higher adhesion at mid-range temperatures (0°C to 100°C), but silicone adhesives have higher adhesion at lower temperatures (under 0°C) and higher temperatures (above 100°C). This adhesion is independent of the tape thickness (1mil, 2mil or 5mil) as the adhesive layer thickness remains constant. This is substrate dependent and [...]

Shin-Etsu offer a range of silicone materials suitable for optical fiber coating. The fiber coating application can be broken down into two categories, the “primary coating” through which the light or data must pass and the “buffer coating” whose optical properties must be different than the primary coating. Shin-Etsu offer a range of silicone materials [...]
