  • Dispensable
  • No outgassing
  • No residue under hermetically-sealed lid

Overview

PDM-5001 is designed for use as a dispensable coating that serves as an adhesive. It’s thixotropic and is typically dispensed through a syringe into a cavity.

A MEMS device (microelectromechanical system) can be placed onto the PDM-5001 adhesive, and then the adhesive is cured. After this process, the package can be hermetically sealed. PDM-5001 produces no residue at temperatures up to 330 ̊C—thus preventing stiction of MEMS devices.

Its main use is in die attach (also known as die bonding), which is the process of attaching a die to flexible circuits and circuit boards. PDM-5001 can also be dispensed onto flexible circuits and circuit boards.
