Conductive Adhesives
Silmid offers a wide range of conductive adhesives to attach parts and components. Electrically conductive adhesives, or ECAs, are used for high-reliability applications such as automotive, medical and telecom products. We stock a range of conductive adhesives from Loctite, Dowsil, Chomerics, and more. Bulk discounts are available for large-scale manufacturing and repair work.
What Is a Conductive Adhesive?
Other benefits of conductive adhesives include lower curing temperatures and more ability to rework components, which is helpful when working on prototypes. Some of the best uses for conductive adhesives include satellite communications, display device connections, solar cells, and electrical repairs.
Types of Conductive Adhesives
- Epoxy-based adhesives are a good all-purpose ECA with excellent strength, chemical resistance and temperature stability.
- Silicone conductive adhesives offer more flexibility for absorbing shocks and higher temperature resistance for thermal management.
- Urethane adhesives have the most flexibility but are not as good at resisting chemicals and temperatures as other adhesives.
