Only Fairbanks Scales takes the extra step to completely encapsulate electronics mounted
at the scale platform. The complete encapsulation of our electronic Smart Sectional Controller
circuit boards help to ensure up time even in the worse climates.
Fairbanks' encapsulation process helps protect electronics from moisture by completely covering
all of the electronic components with a water proof compound. No other manufacture takes this
extra precaution to protect electronics like Fairbanks does. No one.
Fairbanks understands there are always human, environmental and physical factors that can effect
the protection provided by an enclosure such as tightening and loosening of gland nuts, over torqued
cover bolts, vibration, extreme temperature swings and even physical damage to the enclosure.
Fairbanks knows this will happen even under the best circumstances and provides a real world
solution to address these issues. The end result is a product to keep our customers running regardless.
The base material of our encapsulation is a difunctional bisphenol A / Epichlorohynrin "Epoxy" resin.
The Base is then cross-linked with an "Amine" hardener blend, a system chosen because of its exceptional
electrical insulating properties and it is translucent properties.
The epoxy formulation is based on a very well established chemistry, which has been used in various
industries for decades.
Some of the applications include:
Tooling, casting and molding
Electrical and Aerospace applications
Marine coatings (boat hulls)
Chemical resistant tank linings.
The life expectancy depends on the operating environment, but it is expected to last 20+ years in our applications.
