Opaque chip encapsulation with Dam&Fill products

UV-curing encapsulation compounds are state-of-the-art in the chip card industry. However, curing with light requires that the encapsulation compounds be permeable to radiation - i.e. transparent. The demand for black chip encapsulation compounds results from increased requirements on safety. According to these requirements the chip must be protected against unauthorized viewing or copying.

By further developing a DELO®-patented curing mechanism, we created black Dam&Fill products which cure by a combination of UV light and heat.
Thus, all the advantages of light curing - fast processes for high production volumes - can be utilized, while still meeting high safety requirements.

DELO®-DUALBOND -
absolutely opaque even in thin layers

The advantages of our black Dam&Fill compounds in an overview:

  • High productivity by fast curing within 30 to 60 seconds
  • Highest reliability by adjusted mechanical properties and low ion content
  • Standardized encapsulation systems are available
  • Dam&Fill form a homogeneous unit
