In-Mold Electronics: Advancing PCB Encapsulation

X2F Controlled Viscosity Molding (CVM)

CVM is a fixed output process, using the laws of thermodynamics to melt, manipulate, and move polymer melt without excessive shearing. This highly efficient and accurate data-driven process makes complex plastic molding tasks simpler, repeatable, and automated while offering polymer, pigment, and filler combinations not possible with other methods.

Flagship End Use Applications

Semiconductors & Electronic Components
As semiconductors continue to decrease in size and components become more tightly compact, more advanced thermal management solutions are needed to increase device lifetime and performance.

LED Lighting
LEDs should be kept below 85°C to provide an acceptable lifetime. CVM allows for over-molding sensitive electronics and in-molding complex heatsink features to provide up to 49% lighter weight solution than standard aluminum heatsinks designed for the same thermal performance.

E-Mobility
CVM provides double-digit energy storage performance gains in key metrics such as charging times, discharge rates and total life expectancy with critical protection from environmental, mechanical and thermal stresses.

Thermal Management
Using high-performance thermally conductive materials, CVM technology provides advanced thermal management solutions and physical protection that meet the ever-increasing high-performance demands of next-generation devices.
