Delkin Redefines Rugged Memory, Introducing Tekta™ Infusion
September 21st, 2010 - Poway, CA – Delkin Devices, a world leader in industrial built-to-order flash storagesolutions, introduces Tekta™ infusion, an ultra-low viscosity silicone elastomer based conformal coating process
which provides exceptional protection to electronic circuitry in extreme applications. Tekta Infusion is a fieldverified conformal coating that can be applied to any of Delkin’s industrial product lines, including: Solid State
Drives (SSD), CompactFlash™ (CF), Secure Digital™, USB Embedded Module, & USB Flash. Deployed in OEM
applications globally, Tekta infused products are designed to outperform allother standard industrial products in the market.
“The goal for Tekta was to create the world's toughest, customized solidstate drive solution available,” explains CEO, Martin Wood. “Products
infused with Tekta are optimized for serious industrial applications likemilitary and aerospace where mission-critical data requires the highest
level of reliability, durability, and data integrity. Because we
manufacture industrial products exclusively in the United States we have ahigher level of control than some of our competitors; this enables us toadapt quickly and offer our customers unique solutions with custom
features in a diverse number of applications”
Delkin engineered the Tekta infusion process to eliminate the detrimental
effect of environmental factors that cause drive failure, particularly in
military and industrial markets where extreme and specialized
performance is required. Drive failure typically results in data corruption or total loss of information, whichtranslates into costly downtime while field technicians replace drives, reinstall operating systems and processreturns. Tekta protected products help eliminate drive corruption, thus lowering the total cost of ownershipand offering designers a proven solution that virtually eliminates costly problems associated withenvironmental corruption.
Each US manufactured memory solution is subjected to rigorous quality testing, then put through a patentpending Tekta infusion process that protects the product and its contents from extreme temperatures (-50 to100°C), underwater submersion, humidity, high altitude, rain, sand, shock, impact, vibration, rust and more.
Tekta infused memory solutions from Delkin Devices meet and surpass MIL-STD-810 certification.
Delkin Devices controls the entire manufacturing process ofindustrial embedded products, from design through delivery. Unlike
competing manufacturers, Delkin sources its own criticalcomponents in its products and assembles them at its own facilities
using robotics and internally developed processes. Control of eachmemory card's performance is assured by a configurable partnumber and a locked down Bill of Materials. Only extended
temperature components are used and cards are continually tested
for enhanced shock and vibration performance. The Tekta infusionprocess is an ideal solution for many industrial and militaryapplications, including industrial automation, mobiletelecommunications, transportation, aerospace, GPS navigation, aviation, and other environments whereenvironmental protection is critical. Furthermore, Delkin leads the industry with a remarkable 7 year warranty
on all Single Level Cell (SLC) products. For more information visit www.delkinoem.com or call 800-637-8087
