Ellsworth Adhesives Europe has offered a custom repackaging service since our establishment in 2005, through Ellsworth subsidiary company KitPackers. The re-packaging capabilities of the KitPackers division forms an integral part of our business and we now feel that it is time to promote these services as a separate entity, through the introduction of the new website www.kitpackerseurope.com

The creation of the new website will expose Kitpackers to a broader audience and presents Kitpackers with an exclusive platform to showcase the full range of its capabilities. The scope of Kitpackers capabilities is certainly wide, with its extensive selection of packaging systems; from dual and single component cartridges, to bi-pac foil sachets and syringes.

Kitpackers not only supplies the widest variety of packaging options, it also provides a number of expert services that will extend the shelf life of products and cut down on unnecessary waste – services include the supply of pre-mixed and frozen resins and vacuum and centrifugal degassing.

The new website details the full range of Kitpackers products and services and is now live. Visit www.kitpackerseurope.com

The MS-2002 Mouldable Optical Silicone.

Ellsworth Adhesives Europe is pleased to announce that the latest product development from Dow Corning – the MS-2002 – is now available for purchase.

The MS-2002 is a mouldable white reflector silicone targeting 98% reflectivity. The MS-2002 will assist in further boosting light output from LED devices, improving overall energy efficiency and lengthening device reliability. Thanks to its highly reflective properties, the white reflector silicone material also extends the excellent photo-thermal stability and high-mouldability that typifies Dow Corning’s award-winning optical-grade Mouldable Silicone family.

Dow Corning’s global industry director of LED Lighting, Hugo da Silva, explains the rationale of their latest development “Our advanced new Dow Corning MS-2002 Silicone extends the valuable design, processing and performance benefits of our Mouldable Silicone portfolio beyond transparent LED lens elements to include the reflective elements of LED lamp and luminaire applications. With the launch of this new product, customers can now maximize the benefits of silicone chemistry to develop more affordable LED lighting.”

Like other products in Dow Corning’s line of high-performance LED silicones, its advanced new Dow Corning MS-2002 Silicone delivers outstanding mechanical, thermal and optical stability at temperatures exceeding 150°C. That means, unlike epoxies, polycarbonate, acrylic and other conventional LED materials, Dow Corning MS-2002 Mouldable White Reflector Silicone retains superb colour, reflectance and mechanical performance over the lifetime of an LED lamp or luminaire without yellowing or physical degradation. As the market demands LED sources to deliver more intense light from comparatively smaller package sizes, these qualities are highly desirable for reflective LED materials.

With its high reflectivity and bright white colour, this new high-performance silicone product does not require the additional mixture of liquid silicone rubber or colour pigmentation.  Its extreme thermal and optical stability enables development of parts with direct contact with LED dies without air gaps between the die and optics, avoiding design limits common with organic LED materials.

Ellsworth Adhesives has a well established partnership with Dow Corning – the global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation. The MS-2002 and a whole host of other Dow Corning products are available for purchase now from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe. Shop the Dow Corning range here.

 

Now available to order from Ellsworth Adhesives Europe, The HCT2-120 system is the latest product to be developed by Metcal. The HCT2-120 is a digital hot air pencil perfectly suited to applications using smaller components and assemblies thanks to its slim and lightweight design. As component miniaturization continues, the ergonomics of a pencil allow the user more freedom to access  and rework   components   on   the   board   without   affecting adjacent parts.

With a 120 Watt Ceramic Heater and Dual Stage Air Pump, The HCT2-120 provides the power and performance needed to deliver the right amount of thermal energy. The Microprocessor controlled closed loop feedback system allows fast heating, precise and stable temperature control. The HCT2-120 System also includes a nozzle plate holder inside the workstand with six nozzles ranging between 1.5mm and 4mm.

The HCT2-120 benefits from a universal power supply that automatically senses the input line voltage and adjusts accordingly which allows for worldwide operation without adaptors or a change in performance.

There are already over 400 Metcal products featured on the Ellsworth Adhesives Europe website –  to view the entire product range click here.
