Low volatility sealant supports the development of optical communication modules
Low volatility sealant supports the development of optical communication modules
In recent years, with the large-scale deployment of 5G networks, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing clusters, and the continuous penetration of applications such as cloud computing and big data, global data traffic has shown an exponential growth trend. To cope with the increasing severe bandwidth pressure, high-speed data transmission has put forward higher requirements for infrastructure. As the core component for implementing optoelectronic signal conversion in optical communication systems, optical modules play an irreplaceable role in data transmission links - their core function is to convert electrical signals into optical signals for long-distance, low loss transmission, and then convert the received optical signals back into electrical signals for processing.
Benefiting from the explosive growth of data traffic, the market demand for optical modules continues to rise. In terms of technological iteration, the current optical module industry is in a critical stage of evolution from 800G to 1.6T, and even 3.2T. Overall, the optical module industry is in a strategic opportunity period of rapid iteration and upgrading, with broad development prospects.
One critical challenge of the optical module industry : the requirement for optical path cleanliness is very high
The optical transmission unit in the optical module has strict requirements for the transmittance of the cavity. Any small pollution in the optical path, whether it is particulate matter or chemical volatiles, can lead to signal attenuation, scattering, or decreased coupling efficiency, seriously affecting the overall performance and transmission quality of the module.
Low volatility sealant helps the development of the optical communication industry
Max-cess low-volatility sealant has strict control over volatile substances in its formula design, and almost no small molecule substances are released after curing. Its volatile matter level is completely completeMeets ASTM E595 standard（Requirements for volatile matter testing standards for materials used in space and high reliability electronics. After curing, it can maintain the cleanliness of the optical path for a long time, avoid condensation and pollution of the optical interface caused by volatile substances, and eliminate chemical corrosion problems of components caused by volatile substances, ensuring that the optical module maintains a stable and reliable working state for many years of use.
For commonly used materials such as PEI and metal for optical communication module cover,our low-volatility sealant has an adhesive strength of up to 3.0MPa, which can achieve stable bonding. This product is a single component organic silicone system that does not require on-site mixing and can be used right after opening. Easy to operate and compatible with multiple dispensing methods: it can be used in conjunction with automated machines for high-precision and high-efficiency dispensing operations, and can also meet the needs of small batches, sampling, or maintenance scenarios through manual dispensing.
