This coating is formulated for use in sensitive applications such as manufacturing semiconductors. Thinner than potting compounds, it flows easily into small spaces between electrical components. The coating begins to harden when exposed to UV light. Use it to secure and insulate hardware on printed circuit boards. It requires a gun (sold separately) to dispense.

Shield circuit boards from flux, solder, conformal coatings, and high temperatures. Heat resistant up to 640° F, these temporary coatings are most often used to protect open through-holes and components during wave soldering. Coatings can also act as a short-term adhesive to keep parts in place when you’re soldering a two-sided SMT circuit board. An alternative to masking tapes that require cutting to shape, these gel coatings flow easily into small spaces and don’t leave a residue when removed. They’re also known as solder masks. Product regulations restrict sales to the listed jurisdictions/areas.

Choose wash-away coatings if you use a water-based cleaning process such as a batch or in-line cleaning system. Wash-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time are nonflammable. They’re not completely water soluble, so they can’t be used in closed-loop cleaning systems. Coatings with a two-hr. overall dry time are completely water soluble for use in closed-loop cleaning systems. They’re slightly flammable.

Choose peel-away coatings if you use a solvent-based cleaning process or don’t clean your circuit boards. Coatings with a 15-min. overall dry time cure more evenly than peel-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time, so they can be applied in thick layers. They’re also nonflammable. Peel-away coatings with a one-hr. overall dry time produce low odors because they don’t contain ammonia.

Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of silicone for protection from dust, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Softer and more flexible than epoxies and urethanes with the widest temperature range, silicone potting compounds are the best choice for high-temperature applications and electronics exposed to thermal cycling. They have good moisture resistance but poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Silicones provide excellent electrical insulation. They’re also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).

Cartridge potting compound requires a gun (sold separately) to dispense; use it with the included mixer nozzle.

Clear enough to read through, this UV-resistant potting compound allows optimal light transmission for use with LEDs, solar cells, and fiber optics. Use it to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Softer and more flexible than epoxies and urethanes with the widest temperature range, silicone potting compound is the best choice for high-temperature applications and electronics exposed to thermal cycling. It has good moisture resistance but poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Silicone provides excellent electrical insulation. It’s also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing). Use a gun (sold separately) with the included mixer nozzle to dispense.

Potting compounds that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of urethane for protection from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration. Urethanes withstand a wide range of temperatures and are the best choice for cold-temperature applications. They have excellent flexibility, good chemical and moisture resistance, and provide good electrical insulation. Use a gun (sold separately) with the included mixer nozzle to dispense.

US2350™ also require a 4:1 plunger (sold separately) to dispense.

This potting compound is formulated for use in sensitive applications such as manufacturing semiconductors. Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of material for protection from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration. Urethane withstands a wide range of temperatures and is the best choice for cold-temperature applications. It has excellent flexibility, good chemical and moisture resistance, and provides good electrical insulation. Use a gun (sold separately) with the included mixer nozzle to dispense.

Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of epoxy for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. The strongest of the potting compounds, epoxies are rigid and wear resistant. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation. All require a mixer nozzle and gun to dispense.

3M DP460EG and DP4XLEG also require a plunger to dispense.

Loctite® 3336™, ES1001™, ES1902™, and ES2500™ come with a mixer nozzle.

Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of material for protection from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration. Hot-melt potting compounds have excellent flexibility, good chemical and moisture resistance, and withstand a range of temperatures. They provide good electrical insulation. Use 3M glue guns (sold separately) to dispense.

Formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, these potting compounds have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.

Cartridge potting compound requires a gun and mixer nozzle (each sold separately) to dispense.

Mixing required—resin and hardener come in two separate jars or in a jar and syringe and must be combined before applying. Change the mix ratio of these heat-transfer potting compounds to achieve the right hardness for your application. They're formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, so they have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.
