Most frequent questions and answers

Electronic devices are made up of electronic components. These components and circuits inside can generate heat while working. This heat needs to be effectively dissipated or else there is a growing risk to the device and its components. Thermal management is required to help prolong the life of these devices and prevent failures.

When the entire unit is ventilated along with the heat sinks, the heat loss is much more effective. Heat sinks usually have a finned make; this is to add more surface area for greater and faster loss of heat. Synthetic diamond cooling sinks are now being used for greater efficacy.

Fans and heat sinks are one of the commonly used devices in heat management. Metallic sinks are made from copper or aluminum or their alloys. Then there are silicone pastes, gap pads, and filling materials. There are non-silicone pastes, gap pads, phase-change materials, RTV, and bonding products.

Made from a good conductor of heat, heat spreaders are usually in the form of foil or plate that help spread the heat across a broader area. You would find them backing PCBs. With new-age technology, there are PCBs that do not use external plate – a metal layer is directly integrated onto the board.

The heat generated during the operation of the electronic device needs to be dissipated effectively. But, modern electronic devices have few common challenges like the device size, mobility, generation of a higher value of heat in IC chips, and the dense circuit boards or PCBs.

This is another effective cooling device used in thermal management. They are hollow pipes, sealed at the ends, and having a coolant inside. The heat pipes are attached at one end to the source of heat and the other to the heat sink; the liquid inside helps transfer the heat from one end to the other.

One way to control temperature change in an electronic device is to use a single fan or multiple fans, depending on the size and the functional aspects of the device. With fans, the airflow increases. For circuits that are in a confined area with fewer ventilation slots, incorporating fans help reduce operating temperature.

The cold plates are thick metallic plates that are placed in between the source of the heat and the heat sink or a coolant. The plate is used to enhance cooling performance. The heat source here first gets cooled due to the cold plate rather than being cooled by the fluid.

Heat sinks are based on the principle that heat loss is directly proportional to the surface of the component. Heat sinks are made from metals like aluminum, copper, or their alloys or metals that are good thermal conductors. They help in the artificial increase of the surface area.

EFA is responsible for pumping in the air using the electric field rather than the movement of a conventional fan. In the process, first air molecules are ionized, moving neutral molecules in a particular direction, and neutralizing the ions. Since there are no moving parts, it is an effective thermal management technique.

INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE & TAPES are called pressure-sensitive tapes. These tapes are quite aggressive and stick to most kinds of surfaces. To apply these sticky tapes, one does not need to apply finger pressure. It is, however, important that while applying these tapes, firm pressure is used or there could be cases of tape failure.

Absolutely! It is in the best interest of your business. This is especially true if your business performance or customer satisfaction is dependent on the failure of the tape. Also, consider the cost and the man-hours that you lose in rebuilding your reputation due to the failed tapes.

INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE & TAPES are meant for creating a strong adhesive bond between similar, dissimilar, and composite materials. Industrial tapes are used in a broad range of applications like office automation, smartphones, television, automobiles, airplane cockpit, and many other varied applications.

There are few reasons behind this – poor quality tapes; required amount of pressure not applied; the external temperature was not suitable –too cold or hot; unclean surfaces. It could also be due to the use of an inappropriate type of tape.

There are two types of Industrial Adhesive & Tapes – single-sided and double-sided. The latter has pressure-sensitive adhesives on either side; while the former has only one single side. Each of these types is made from different materials like PET, foam, and fabrics.

There are 7 levels where the industrial adhesives are used in mobiles – at the cover panels, camera modules, Fixing reinforcements, connectors, batteries, fixing the graphite and ferrite sheets, and cushioning the LCD or OLED molecules. In Televisions, these are used at four levels – backlight module, LCD panels, power supply boards, and molded parts.

Consider these factors – the bond is supposed to be permanent or temporary; is the bond desired long-term or short-term; aesthetics of the tape; surface type; will the tape will be exposed to external factors like temperature change, humidity, Ultra-violet rays, chemicals, or stress.

Air-conditioning unit in fixing foams, in the cockpit module, in the doors to fix foams, in pillars, in rear wheels for fixing acoustic materials, in the harness, and Tonneau Covers, INDUSTRIAL ADHESIVE & TAPES are used to provide permanent and temporary fixtures.

First and foremost, you need to ensure that the surfaces are clean. Next, consider the external environmental conditions because these factors affect the performance of the tapes. And lastly, the tapes should be applied with firm pressure.

The first thing that you should compare is test-related details. The test specs will mention how well the tape adheres to the surface of different materials, and what are the preparations that need to be done to get the best results. The ideal temperature for effective bonding will also be mentioned.

At Econtrol Devices, we understand that customer satisfaction is of utmost importance, and we strive to provide the highest quality products and services. However, when it comes to our sealing tape, we have a specific policy in place regarding returns.
Please note that returns are not accepted for slitting tape as it is customized to meet customers' specific requirements. While variations in length may occur during the slitting process, this is communicated upfront via email conversations. We aim to prevent misunderstandings by informing customers that there may be a plus or minus variation in tape length.
However, if there are significant issues with the entire log roll, deviating from acceptable industry standards, we may consider accepting its return. This would require the customer to provide detailed information about the issue and the specific roll in question.
For any concerns or issues with our slitting tape, we encourage customers to contact our dedicated customer service team. They will gladly assist and guide customers through the appropriate steps to address their concerns effectively.

Oils, fluids, and lubricants come with specialized properties that could be proprietary in nature too. These are categorized under Specialty Fluids. So, there could be a conventional fluid as a base containing unique additives like nanoparticles or may be made using non- conventional chemistries like halides, PPE, etc.

The constituents of Specialty fluids differ from brand to brand. The components are synthetic hydrocarbons like Polyalphaolefins, Polyglycols, siloxanes, silicone networks, and emulsions. There are some top international brands that make custom-tailored specialty highly purified fluids as per the specific needs and requirements of the client.

The idea is to make the fluid get properties that are not available in conventional industrial fluids. So there could be properties like resistance to oxidation or radiation, or getting increased tackiness, or even engineered to get a higher refractive index to the fluid.

The purpose of each type of Specialty oil is very application-specific. However, in the generic sense, the oils or fluids should offer a superior level of lubricity, superlative finishing, and enhanced tool life. Care should be taken to use fluids that are compatible with different materials.

Specialty fluids are engineered for highly specialized applications that are used in military or aerospace domains. These fluids are also used in applications like grinding, lapping, making cleaning products and traction products, aerosols; used in extraction, dampening, expansion and system cleaning processes, in metal heat treating, and well drilling.

Specialty Fluids are made with certain distinct chemical and physical properties. You can expect enhanced properties pertaining to Kinematics Viscosity, Flash Point, Pour Point, Distillation Range, Density, Aniline Point, Aroma free, and more. Mostly Specialty Fluids come from hydrocarbon minerals.

Examples include – drilling fluids; magnetic fluids; magneto fluids; ferromagnetic liquids; electronic fluids, electric fluids, engineered fluids, optical fluids, Eialectic fluids, Viscoelastic fluids, Heat-resistant fluids, high-temperature fluids, fireproof fluids, Cesium formate, Potassium formate, honing oils, carrier fluids, drying fluids, intervention fluids, surface- active coolants, dry cleaning fluids, and more.

Synthetic gear oils, food-grade oils, synthetic chain oils, mineral gear oils, knitting oils, high viscous fluids, compressor oils, cutting fluids, cold forming oils, neat cutting oils, cleaners, wire drawing oils, and minimum quantity lubricants, are some of the specific areas of use of Specialty oils.

Specialty fluids that are manufactured using nanotechnology are meant for highly specific tasks as they come with specified properties to enhance electrical conductivity, lower or higher boiling point, moisture resistance, water displacement, high-voltage dielectric, and ferromagnetism.

Some of the parameters that need to be verified are – purity of the fluid, the aromatic and the delectable content of the fluid, the safety aspect of the product for humans as well as for the environment, and assurance of top quality.
