Polyonics label materials meet out-gassing requirements

The slightest amount of out-gas can be detrimental to performance.

Polyonics has recently achieved passing results to the ASTM E595 specification for low out-gassing for its core product line, which includes: XF-528, XF-529, XF-581, XF-582, XF-583 and XF-584 among others. Out-gassing is an issue that arises in the manufacturing and operation of specialized electronic devices such as LEDs, cameras and hard disk drives.

Due to high vacuum environments, the slightest amount of out-gas can be detrimental to performance. The result can be adhesive residue left on key components, which lead to low levels of deposition.

Along with minimal out-gassing, these label materials are rated for temperatures of 280°C and offer chemical resistance to solvents and cleaners used in the print circuit board manufacturing process.

To ensure label materials used in the fabrication of these devices are low out-gassing, materials must meet the requirements of the ASTM E595 standard. Along with hard disk manufacturers, NASA and ESA (European Space Agency) also require low out-gassing materials, including labels, be used throughout their space crafts. Any out-gassing can potentially condense onto optical elements, thermal radiators and or solar cells and render them useless.

Each material is thermal transfer printable and complies with RoHS and REACH. They are certified to halogen free IEC 61249-2-21 levels.
