Multisorb Technologies, the global leader in active packaging technology, offers its integrated build-in and fit-in approaches to moisture regulation. Multisorb provides manufacturers of electronic and optical devices customized sorbent solutions that effectively manage contaminants such as moisture to enhance device quality, minimize failure, extend service life and prevent costly recalls.
Multisorb's build-in concept leverages the durability of the company's sorbent technology to enable uniquely configured solid forms that serve as structural as well as functional components. Multisorb experts provide consultation to device manufacturers on how to include sorbent technology in the most intelligent and efficient way, saving time and reducing costs later in the manufacturing process. Multisorb's fit-in approach offers similar advantages by providing moisture management for device designs already developed. Multisorb makes recommendations for customized sorbent configurations that accommodate even the most challenging spatial requirements. The sorbent is custom-formed into the desired shape without compromising device structure and/or design.
Multisorb's build-in and fit-in approaches are ideal for a variety of applications, including back-up cameras in automobiles and laser optics for military vehicles. A major challenge facing manufacturers of these technologies is condensation build-up - the result of temperature fluctuations. Vehicle cameras are often exposed to ice, snow and rain resulting in an increase in moisture that can impair visibility. By incorporating sorbent technology into the device structure, condensation is limited. Likewise, moisture in optical devices for laser technology can cause damage as the laser beam makes contact with lenses. By integrating a molded polymer sorbent, manufacturers are able to eliminate water vapor in the laser cavity component to enhance performance and evade product failure.
"Our goal is to educate manufacturers about the benefits of back-end integration of sorbent technology into device designs to ensure product performance," says Dan Casacci, Business Development Leader, Electronics Packaging, Multisorb Technologies. "Planning for moisture management can save significant time and costs in the long-run."
Multisorb serves additional industries in the electronics market with applications in consumer products, electronic packaging, radar and telecommunications, industrial, aviation and marine equipment.
