Electrical Insulation | Conduction | EMI Shielding

Device failures caused by interference or noise from electromagnetic energy are increasing due to the growing number of products that contain sensitive electronic components. The smaller size and faster operating speeds of today’s electrical and electronic components make it more difficult to manage performance. Rogers offers an array of solutions for electrical insulation, conduction and EMI/RFI shielding to protect and insulate devices from electrical interference.

Self-Fusing & Insulating Silicone Tapes

ARLON silicone self-fusing tapes are produced from specially formulated silicone rubber that allows them to bond only to themselves. The permanent bond provides an insulating barrier resistant to moisture, ozone, and corona over a wide temperature range. ARLON self-fusing tapes provide superior electrical insulation with a minimum dielectric strength of 300 VPM at 180°C (356°F).

Arlon LevelWrap®, MOX-Tape® and Rapid-Bond™ silicone self-fusing tapes are produced from specially formulated silicone rubber that allows them to bond only to themselves. The permanent bond provides an insulating barrier resistant to moisture, ozone and corona over a wide temperature range (-65°F up to +500°F).

DeWAL pressure sensitive tapes combine the strength, durability and versatility of the DeWAL brand family of high quality film products with proprietary formulations of silicone, acrylic, or rubber-based adhesive systems. DeWAL offers simple glass cloth tapes, surface treated skived PTFE and FEP adhesive tapes to solve all electrical insulation demands.

Coil Insulation

ARLON Coil Insulation products, field tested for over 50 years, provide excellent electrical insulation for large rotating machines and traction motors, even in the most challenging operating conditions.

Electrical Conduction

COOLSPAN® Thermally & Electrically Conductive Adhesive (TECA) is a thermosetting, epoxy based, silver filled adhesive film used to bond circuit boards to heavy clad metal backplanes, heat sink coins and RF module housings. Conductive adhesive films provide a convenient and reliable approach used to bond high power circuit boards to heavy metal backplanes or heat sinks.

EMI Shielding

ARLON Thermabond® electronic adhesives are a unique class of elastomeric thermal interface materials that provide thermal-mechanical stress decoupling and a reliable heat transfer path. With Thermabond, adjoining components move freely during operation — preventing stress build-up created by CTE mismatch. Thermabond is available in a range of thermal conductivities, including an electrically conductive line for ground plane continuity, ESD grounding, EMI shielding and RF shielding.

Thermal Solutions

Rogers Corporation is a proud leader in thermal solutions that protect electronics and critical systems. The heat generated from electronic devices, systems and circuits require thermal management to maintain prime operating conditions and avoid premature component failure, performance throttling or user discomfort. Rogers Corporation provides solutions to fit every design need by means of heat-storage, heat-conduction and cooling materials. In addition to their sealing, gasketing and cushioning, Rogers Corporation silicones provide thermal insulation capabilities by reducing the transfer of heat between objects.

Thermabond electronic adhesives are composed of elastomeric materials that provide thermal-mechanical stress decoupling and heat transfer within printed circuit boards used in aerospace and automotive applications. Thermabond is available in a wide range of products.

Vacuum Bagging

Reusable vacuum bags provide a convenient and sustainable solution in both consumer and industrial based applications. Whether used for a vacuum cleaner, in resin infusion manufacturing or in prepreg molding processes, reusable silicone bags reduce material costs while improving efficiency.

Rogers Corporation’s ARLON® Thermavac® vacuum bagging materials are a lightweight and durable solution. The composite of silicone rubber and fluoropolymer film resists chemical degradation and withstands high temperatures. Vacuum bags and vacuum bagging systems designed with Thermavac materials receive both high quality materials and ARLON technical support.

Mechanical Fastening

Achieving a reliable and long-term attachment can be challenging when joining dissimilar substrates. Compared to traditional structural fastening methods, modern design and sustainability requirements often render mechanical fasteners and welding less effective than adhesives and other bonding solutions. Replacing traditional fasteners with self-fusing tapes, adhesives or other bonding solutions from Rogers Corporation can solve these challenges, extend product life and enable clean, reliable design. Additionally, these substrates maintain their fastening in extreme conditions.

Press Pads

ARLON Ultrapad® Press Pads are a family of reusable, high performance silicone-fabric composites designed for use in rigid, flex and rigid-flex circuit lamination processes. Expert formulation and construction provide exceptional longevity compared to disposable products and other silicone press pads on the market. UltraPad® press pads deliver unsurpassed savings in running costs. The specially formulated silicone rubber compounds used in UltraPad® press pads are designed for optimum thermal stability and compressibility in the lamination environment. They deliver consistent performance from the first cycle to the last and are the most cost-effective press pad solution across a wide range of process pressures and temperatures for circuit lamination in traditional and fast press processes.

Cold Supply Chain

Rogers offers a broad range of materials that preserve and protect sensitive products at a multitude of temperature levels throughout the cold storage supply chain.

Our materials perform exceptionally well at standard equipment temperatures, from refrigerated (2° C to 8°C), to freezer (-10°C to -25°C), to ultra-low freezer (-70°C to -90°C), to liquid- or vapor-phase nitrogen (-135°C to -196°C) with no compromise of mechanical properties.

A typical silicone elastomer material reaches low temperature embrittlement around -55°C. Several ARLON silicone materials, however, function at temperatures well below this. An ARLON GP grade solid silicone material, for example, can reach temperatures as low as -62°C. An ARLON HS/LT grade solid silicone offers even lower temperature usage, reaching a low temperature of embrittlement around -90°C.
