Casting of 1K and 2K resins as well as foams as a service.
endin – competent processing of casting compounds
Our mixing and dosing systems are designed to process virtually any casting compound. Different dosing pumps allow for a wide viscosity range, from aqueous to highly viscous (>100,000 mPas).
When dosing with static mixing heads, homogeneous mixing is guaranteed for simple mixing ratios (1:1 to 1:8). Dynamic mixing heads are used for large mixing ratios up to 100:5.

Furthermore, we are particularly strong when it comes to specific and unique technical challenges. Wherever things get difficult, we take on any dosing-related challenge.
In our in-house application technology laboratory, we can simulate, test, and measure all conditions and processes of potting technology in detail, thus enabling us to implement even complex process developments or optimizations.
Different requirements require different casting compounds. Here, too, both technical performance and cost-effectiveness must be considered.
The formulation influences the properties of the casting compound.
In principle, the chemist or the potting compound producer can create or influence certain properties of the potting compound through the different composition of the raw materials, such as thermal conductivity, adhesion, elasticity, etc., but also production-relevant parameters such as viscosity, pot life, curing time, etc.
The formulation of the potting compound influences its properties and is therefore one of the key factors defining a potting process as well as the quality and durability of the final product. Conversely, it is crucial to consider these factors in detail during the product development process, especially if the potting process step is an important quality feature or a decisive performance factor of the component or final product, or because this process step often occurs at the end of the (electronics) production chain and does not allow for rework.
The general advantages of casting compounds are essentially:
Basically different bases are available to cover completely different applications (polyurethanes, epoxies, silicones, etc.)
The consistently liquid medium allows the use of very different materials on the same machine
Almost unlimited possibilities for individual formulation depending on customer requirements
Additional influence on mechanical properties by adding (solid) filler
Can be cast into shape
Customizable in color and feel
Also available transparent and translucent
Uniform logistics through standardized container sizes
endin – competent & reliable
We have been working intensively on this topic for over 30 years and therefore have extensive experience in research, evaluation and processing
At the same time, we have the ability to test and optimize any casting compound and its processing in our application technology laboratory at any time and at short notice.
Material research/recommendation: By mastering the full product life cycle, we consider not only physical properties but also processing and process capability to ensure economical (series) production
We have a database with over 1,500 defined materials/casting compounds as well as very good contacts with the manufacturers and can therefore provide completely neutral casting compound recommendations that represent an optimum between technology and costs.
This means we are able to not only recommend the right and optimal potting compound for the application or the desired component properties, but also, if necessary, provide clear recommendations regarding a component design suitable for potting or production.
Our advice and our offer is completely independent of casting compound manufacturers
In the early stages of development, endin offers to perform a casting pattern simulation even before the first hardware prototypes are available
endin systems are designed to process any casting compound
Different dosing pumps allow wide viscosity ranges from aqueous to highly viscous (>100,000 mPas)
Static mixing heads typically guarantee homogeneous mixing with simple mixing ratios (1 : 1 to 1 : 8)
For large mixing ratios up to 100 : 5, dynamic mixing heads are used
This allows even very fast reaction casting resins with a pot life of < 1 min to be processed fully automatically
High filler contents > 50% are safely conditioned from material preparation to the outlet from the dosing nozzle
Some highly abrasive fillers are absorbed by special materials or a fair spare parts concept
Fully automatic material conditioning can be individually configured, whether tempering, evacuation, homogenization, etc.
Full material and process control through proven best practices and consistent sensor technology
Dosing under atmosphere as well as under vacuum, as well as upstream and downstream processes can be realized by endin from a single source
Furthermore, we are particularly strong where specific and unique technical challenges arise. Where things get difficult… borderline cases of technology…
In our in-house application technology laboratory, we can simulate, test, and measure all conditions and processes of potting technology in detail, thus enabling us to implement even complex process developments or optimizations.
“We push technology to its limits” - special developments are our specialty
Potting refers to the encapsulation of components with a liquid potting compound that hardens and provides protection against environmental influences. It is used to improve electrical insulation, mechanical stability, and heat dissipation.
Our systems are designed to process virtually all casting compounds, including polyurethanes, epoxies, and silicones. Our dosing pumps enable the processing of materials with a wide range of viscosities – from aqueous to highly viscous (>100,000 mPas).
Static mixing heads: Ideal for mixing ratios from 1:1 to 1:8 for homogeneous mixing.
Dynamic mixing heads : For large mixing ratios up to 100:5, especially for reactive resins with very short pot lives.
Comprehensive material selection and customization options
Processing of highly filled and abrasive materials
Fully automatic material conditioning (temperature control, evacuation, homogenization)
Processing under atmosphere or vacuum
Optimization for series production with stable processes
Endin specializes in custom developments. In our in-house laboratory, we simulate, test, and optimize processes to realize even the most demanding encapsulation solutions.
We maintain a database of over 1,500 casting compounds and operate independently of manufacturers. Our experts recommend the optimal material based on technical and economic factors.
Our potting solutions are used in numerous industries, including:
Electronics & Automotive
Aerospace
Medical technology
Renewable energy
Yes, we offer both small series and pre-series production and can carry out potting pattern simulations in the early development phases.
In addition to the casting itself, we can integrate pre- and post-treatments such as plasma pretreatment, priming and thermal crosslinking into the process.
With over 30 years of experience, state-of-the-art technology and comprehensive know-how in process engineering and automation, we offer customized, reliable and innovative potting solutions for demanding applications.
It makes sense to draw on experience and expertise early on in the implementation of your projects. Arrange a free initial consultation – we are your competent advisor for the entire value chain.
