The optimum solutions for your application based on polyurethane, epoxy, and silicone.
Electro casting resins play a pivotal role in advancing various industries, including automotive, energy, automation, and household goods. The progress in storing and transmitting electricity significantly impacts these sectors.
RAMPF Group, Inc. offers one- and two-component electro casting resins that enhance the reliability and performance of components. Additionally, these resins contribute to cost-efficiency and prolong the service life of components such as transformers, control units, inverters, motors, and more. They provide robust protection against chemical substances and environmental factors like heat, cold, and moisture.
The products, based on polyurethane (RAKU® PUR), epoxy (RAKU® POX), and silicone (RAKU® SIL), are trusted by leading manufacturers in the automotive and electronics industries. These materials exhibit a diverse range of mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. They effectively conduct heat away from components, ensuring low thermal stresses. Even during extreme temperature fluctuations, the material maintains adequate elasticity to mitigate stresses in the components.
