On behalf of everyone at Ellsworth Adhesives Europe, we would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers, employees and vendor partners for their continued support throughout the year. We look forward to working with you again in 2026!

 

Ellsworth Adhesives France is set to exhibit at the Global Industrie Exhibition 2025, taking place at Eurexpo in Lyon from Tuesday, March 11th to Friday, March 14th.

As France’s largest industrial exhibition, Global Industrie is the only event that unites the entire industrial sector and is “a meeting place for the entire industrial ecosystem”.

The 2025 edition of Global Industrie will explore the major issues transforming contemporary industry, highlighting the innovations, challenges and solutions shaping the industry of the future.   With over 2500 exhibitors across 14 zones, the event will present solutions in automisation, digitalisation/AI, energies, environment, processes and services.

Visitors to the Ellsworth Adhesives France stand will be able to view the Kakuhunter SK-350TII centrifugal planetary mixer which is designed to degas a wide range of single component materials, regardless of their viscosity. By providing users with an automated mixing solution that is efficient and cost effective, it eliminates the hassles and challenges of manual mixing methods.

In addition, Ellsworth Adhesives will be showcasing the Fisnar robot F4303N. Part of the F4000 Advance Series, this 3-axis benchtop robot is designed to ensure precise fluid placement and positioning. When configured with a syringe, cartridge or valve system, a high level of accuracy and repeatability is achieved. This will be used in conjunction with the Fisnar DC50MAX Precision Dispenser, which features simple user-friendly programming for easy setup and real time display of the dispense cycle.

The Ellsworth Adhesive France team will be on Stand 6E93, Hall 2. Visit us to connect with our experts and find solutions to your application and manufacturing challenges.

Dow, leading supplier of silicone-based materials, has introduced the DOWSIL CC-8000 Series UV and Dual Moisture Cure Conformal Coatings. Available in three different formulations, these silicone coatings span from low-to-high viscosities and provide strong protection for electronic components.

Features and Benefits of Dow CC-8000 Series:

The DOWSIL CC-8000 series cures on demand with broad spectrum UV or LED light and also offers a secondary moisture cure for shadowed areas. These fast-curing properties allow for a high production throughput as well as reduced energy costs when compared to heat-curing materials and quicker processing times compared to room-temperature curing materials.

Manufactured without added solvents, the one-part, translucent conformal coatings offer excellent contamination and environmental protection, even in humid conditions. They also provide stress relief and superior flame retardancy. With flexible working times to accommodate different production processes, these versatile coatings ensure strong adhesion to a wide range of substrates.

Product Information:

The CV-800 series includes three different conformal coatings, each offering varying viscosities and application methods. This allows manufacturers to select the option best suited to their manufacturing requirements.

Recommended Applications:

DOWSIL CC-8000 series conformal coatings are suitable for various applications in the electronics and automotive industries. This includes:

• Automotive boards & assemblies
• Control units
• E-motors
• Power supplies and modules
• Home applicances
• Renewable energy applications
• Rigid circuit boards

Ellsworth Adhesives Europe are pleased to introduce the new Fisnar DC50 Max Precision Dispenser to their extensive dispensing portfolio.

The Fisnar DC50 MAX is based on their popular DC50 dispense controller, but with added enhancements. The user-friendly machine functions, controls, and two-mode machine operation found in the DC50 have been retained in the DC50 MAX. This simplified programming enables a dispense cycle to be created and displayed within minutes, regardless of user experience level.

The systems precision regulator and 0-100 psi digital pressure gauge provide precise flow control and repeatability when dispensing both low and high viscosity materials. Additionally, the adjustable vacuum suck-back control prevents fluid dripping from the dispense tip to ensure a clean application.

In conjunction with the launch of the DC50 MAX, Fisnar have also introduced their new FSX syringe stand which is included with the system as standard.

Featuring an improved design, the stand provides better storage of the syringe barrel when not in use. This protects the dispense tip from accidental damage as well as capturing any fluid which may drip. The storage bottle also helps protect the tip from foreign contaminants and environmental lighting that may affect the properties of the fluid inside.

The convenient built-in trays allow for a small amount of fluid material to be purged into a clean and contained location. This is particularly helpful when checking for accurate fluid material flow or when a new dispense tip is attached.

The DC50 MAX Precision Dispenser is available to buy today from all regions of Ellsworth Adhesives Europe.

New to the Ellsworth Adhesives portfolio, Dow DOWSIL TC-5150 thermally conductive gap filler is designed to protect and enhance electronic components.

DOWSIL TC-5150 is a one-part non-curable gap filler with 5 W/mK thermal conductivity. The high-performance product has been developed to dissipate heat from electronics to a heat sink, providing a reliable cooling solution for a variety of applications. This thereby provides protection to the electronic device as well as increasing the operations efficiency.

Like other Dow thermally conductive products, TC-5150 is made with silicone materials heavily filled with heat conductive metal oxides. This combination provides high thermal conductivity and high temperature stability. Additionally, the product eliminates mixing and curing requirements for increased productivity and reduced energy consumption. It also allows re-work to be performed in the component.

DOWSIL TC-5150 has excellent balanced properties of dispensability, low volatile content, and vertical hold stability. These properties make the versatile gap-filler suitable for a host of thermal management applications.

Recommended Applications:

• Automotive electronic control units
• Processors and microprocessors
• Power electronics
• Telecom base stations
• Power supplies and semiconductors
• Memory and power modules
• Central processing units (CPUs)
• On board chargers
