Pioneers in Low Pressure Moulding

Know-how and enthusiasm for moulding of electronics

OptiMel emerged in 1995 from a development group at Henkel KGaA, which was concerned with the possible uses of newly developed thermoplastic hotmelts. The aim was to offer the Low Pressure Moulding process based thereon - also called hotmelt moulding - worldwide for sealing cable harnesses in the automotive industry and to be able to deliver the appropriate processing systems.

In the years that followed, the process became increasingly interesting for other industries as well, in order to gently,efficiently and reliably protect electrical and electronic components against external influences and is therefore now a recognised process in many areas. OptiMel, separate enterprise since 2001, has become a full-service provider, offers the matching solutions for every project based on more than 25 years of experience and accompanies you through the entire implementation process with extensive know-how. 

Our scope of services includes technology and project consulting as well as the sale of project-specific processing equipment consisting of machines, moulding tools and peripherals, advice and sales for Technomelt® moulding materials as well as comprehensive support and services.

Through innovative processes, technical development and the still close partnership with Henkel, as the manufacturer of Technomelt® materials, we are constantly expanding the application possibilities of the LPM technology. Our way of working is characterised by a high degree of customer orientation, coupled with flexibility and a high quality standard.

Our service for your projects

1
Technology consulting

The introduction of new technologies begins long before the required production equipment is purchased. We will advise you from the start, share detailed knowledge of the technology and carry out feasibility analyses.

2
Prototyping

We analyze the matching moulding material based on your requirements, carry out spot tests for adhesion analysis and create prototype tools for test samples and pre-series production.

3
Tool design

At the heart of every project, many details are crucial for a stable and efficient process. We advise on component design, manufacture high-quality tools and carry out mold flow analyzes.

4
Process design

Cycle times, pressure, processing and mold temperatures play a decisive role in project-related process design. We determine these parameters and advise on the optimization of ongoing projects.

5
Equipment configuration

Suitable equipment is defined by the specification of the project, production conditions and, if applicable, future projects. The configuration is aligned to your requirements based on the modular machine programme and extensive accessories.

6
Allround service

With advice on process optimization, training for your staff, various maintenance options and spare parts service, you can also make use of our know-how and support during a running production.

Electronics molding – experience it up close in 2023

Live and always with the latest news, we present the Low Pressure Molding technology for electronics molding every year at various events.Both at trade fairs and in talks at workshops, congresses and symposia with different industry focuses, we show the process and equipment in detail and offer individual exchange on the requirements in a wide variety of applications. We have already planned the following dates for 2023:Henkel AEI Electro Days – Expert Talks LPM March 13th in DüsseldorfSmans NV Cable and Wire Inhouse Show March 14th  – 16th  in Turnhout BE Smans | Cable & Wire In-house Show 2023Kuteno May  9 th   – 11 th  in Rheda-Wiedenbrück - KUTENOProductronica November 14 th –17 th in Munich productronica | Trade fair electronics development production… further events will follow.Low Pressure Molding (LPM) is a process for electronics molding, means protection of electrical and electronic components (such as printed circuit boards or sensors) against vibrations and shocks. LPM insulates against heat, cold, moisture, weather in general and electrical energy. The design is space-saving, cost-effective and individually designable.Thermoplastic hot melt adhesives are used as molding compounds. The predominantly pollutant-free materials based on dimer fatty acids are liquefied by heating. They can be introduced into moulds at low pressures and solidify when cooled.Against the backdrop of increasingly compressed installation space and growing power densities, the demands on the design of electric and electronic components are rising. Encapsulation processes and materials are among the decisive factors for the durability of electrical and electronic assemblies.Originally developed for and in collaboration with the automotive industry, the process has now become an established manufacturing technology in many areas of electronics production and is used in various industries. You can also find more information in our detailed white paper:
