Drivers – Potting Compound Market

  • The growing need for potting in the aerospace industry

Potting compounds are available in a broad range of chemistries that enable their use with different substrates, over a range of operating temperatures, and to provide maximum performance under different environmental conditions. Potting compounds are preferred in aerospace as it enhances mechanical strength and provides vibration and shock insulation and resistance. Also, potting compounds prevent corrosion from moisture, thermal cycling, dust, and chemicals. Also, epoxy, silicone, polyurethane, polysulfide, and UV cure system is available to meet specific aerospace requirements such as low coefficient of thermal expansion, low stress, cryogenic serviceability, ultra-low moisture absorption, special flow properties, high glass transition temperature, and low outgassing and high purity. Owing to these properties the use of the potting compound is widely used in applications of aerospace leading towards the growth of the potting compound market in the forecast period.

Challenges – Potting Compound Market

  • Effects of heat generation to potting compounds

Growing demand for ever-increasing output rates at lower unit costs, ensuring that electronic circuits work as expected over an extended period is becoming increasingly difficult. Delicate materials, heavily packed printed circuit boards (PCBs), confining packaging, and highly stressful service conditions have the potential to contribute to higher failure rates due to excessive heat build-up and electrical interference. Electronic designs are smaller in size and provide more power which requires higher temperatures to operate. To maintain a long service life and high reliability, they must be able to efficiently dissipate the heat. The heat from the curing reaction causes fragile components to be fried. Also, a printed circuit board has components that, when potted, produce large levels of heat causing problems. Hence, heat generation problems in PCBs and other electronic circuits will further create hurdles for the potting compounds market in the forecast period.
