    High humidity, harsh chemicals, water submersions, and salt are no match for these electronic coatings. They also resist UV light, so they’ll work outdoors. Use them on circuit boards, sensors, and LED drivers in heavy machinery. They’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely.
    PVDF—PVDF coatings are more flexible than epoxy coatings. They’re IPC certified for use on circuit boards. You can also use them to protect against corrosion on metal joints. To apply, brush or spray them on, or dip your components in.
    Epoxy—Epoxy coatings resist impact and wear better than PVDF coatings, and they work in higher temperatures. You can also use them as an adhesive. For controlled pouring, they’re thickened with silicate. These coatings are autoclavable, and they’ll even cure underwater. Dispense them with a mixer nozzle and a gun (each sold separately).

    Heat-Transfer Epoxy Potting Compounds

    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.

    Epoxy Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Potting Compounds. Epoxy Potting Compounds for Harsh Environments.
    Tough enough to be permanently submersed in seawater, these compounds protect sensitive electronics, such as circuit boards, semiconductors, and sensors in harsh environments. They resist moisture, salt, and chemicals, so you can use them in corrosive oil, marine, and mining applications. These compounds can also be used within autoclaves. Because they are epoxies, they are rigid, resist wear, and create excellent electrical insulation. They withstand a wide range of temperatures, and this formulation won’t crack or split as components heat up and cool down.
    They come in a cartridge, so you can apply them precisely. To dispense, they require a mixer nozzle and gun (both sold separately).
