I am designing a product that consists of a bare flexible printed circuit board, some on-board chip components. The product is flat. I need to find a way to "encapsulate" this product. I want to product a product that would be similar in manufactring and product like those flexible computer keyboards? http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=309746&pfp=SEARCH Here are the requirements: Flexible: <= 70 durometer Clear or high degree light transmission Apply PSA (Pressure sensitive adhesive) to it or be able to put stickers on it. Able to paint/silk-screen on it Not harden/crack in UV light. Able to be outdoor. At first I'm thinking of a clear silicone RTV, but you can't stick anything to silicone. Then comes a urethane. Can it be environmentally sound? I also am looking for a domestic (US) manufacturer/molder that can take a bunch of these PCBs and overmold them. |

Dow Corning (www.dowcorning.com) 182, 184 or 186 are clear, Shore A 50, silicone potting compounds. Labels with silicone adhesive might stick to the silicone potting compound. I don't know of any way to print on silicone. |

i'm investigating urethane and silicone, and similar shore A types of compounds. I think that once I find a molder that can do the overmold or potting process I'll be set |
