Electric wheelchairs must operate reliably, even under harsh everyday conditions – for example, when a drive wheel locks up and critical temperature peaks occur in the electric motor within seconds. For this reason, an established manufacturer sought a solution to thermally stabilise its motors without compromising installation space or efficiency.…

As a leading manufacturer of potting compounds, adhesives and sealants primarily used to protect sensitive electronics, Wevo is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region with a new production site in Singapore. Located in the Tuas industrial area, the facility will serve as a key hub for supplying customers with…

Modern power electronics in electric vehicles need to withstand not only continuous currents, but also thermal and mechanical loads. At the same time, component designs are becoming increasingly compact. Materials precisely tailored to component and customer requirements are therefore necessary for reliable operation and long-term durability. The WEVOSIL 2210x FL…

In an emergency, rapid shutdown boxes switch off photovoltaic (PV) modules or strings in a controlled manner within a very short time, thus protecting rescue services from exposure to hazardous voltages. They also ensure the safety of employees during maintenance work. The safety-related electronic components must be able to withstand…

Humidifiers in PEM fuel cells need to withstand high levels of humidity as well as exposure to heat and chemicals. The materials used in these applications are therefore of key importance for their safe, reliable operation and efficient production. To meet the strict requirements, WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH has developed adhesives, sealants…

WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH introduces WEVOSIL 23010 and WEVOSIL 23030, two new liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs) specially developed for silicone textile coatings and sealing applications (CIPG/FIPG). Both systems combine excellent processability with high elasticity, temperature resistance and adhesion. They open up new possibilities for precise and automated manufacturing processes using dispensing on…
