Desiccants and Molecular Sieves (Adsorbents)
Multisorb to Feature Solutions for Moisture in Marine Electronics at NMEA 2015
Buffalo, New York - Multisorb Technologies will highlight its solutions for moisture in marine electronics at the NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) Conference and Expo, September 29 - October 1, in Baltimore, Maryland. The effective use of sorbent technology in marine electronic products and components can prevent product failure, increase service life, and reduce warranty exposure.
With over 50 years of experience working with electronics manufacturers, Multisorb is committed to the ongoing development of innovative solutions for the marine industry and serves a wide range of electronic market sectors including consumer products, automotive, defense, solar panels batteries, radar, telecommunications, aviation, marine, industrial, and electronics packaging.
Given the extreme pressure, temperature variations, and humidity to which marine electronics are subjected, control of moisture and vapor is essential. Moisture can cause serious issues with marine electronic products, including optical lens fog, insulation break down, short circuits and intermittent performance, power semiconductor failure, and corrosion of contacts and relays. Even when a product has waterproof rating, such as IP 68, moisture can still create challenges.
With comprehensive evaluation services available, Multisorb's engineers can perform a water immersion test to assess a product for leaks and provide further testing to determine the permeability of the device housing assembly. Using this information along with other pertinent data, the exact desiccant formulation and format required to ensure reliable performance can be calculated.
Multisorb's design-in technologies are used to control adverse conditions that impair reliability in a variety of marine applications including: lights, cameras, fish finders, GPS units, depth finders, radar equipment, and more. Multisorb's products, which include desiccants and oxygen absorbers, are widely used by the industry to prevent corrosion, intermittent functionality, and other problems, including product failures that occur from condensation within the electronic device or packaging.
