Tested to meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, these compounds produce almost no volatile emissions that could damage sensitive electronics, even in a vacuum. Light passes through them easily, so they’re ideal for protecting solar cells and fiber optics. Made of silicone rubber, these compounds are softer and more flexible than epoxy and urethane compounds. That means they’re better at protecting against shocks and vibration. They also withstand a wider range of temperatures, so you can use them with electronics that heat and cool rapidly. These compounds are excellent electrical insulators, and they’ll shield your components from moisture and dust. However, they don’t hold up well to chemicals or scrapes. They’re also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).

These compounds are easy to apply in high volumes. Just mix the two parts together and pour them over components inside a container, such as a potting box.

These thermally conductive coatings keep electrical components cool by dissipating heat. Use them to bond transformers, transistors, and other heat-generating components to printed circuit boards and heat sinks. They require a gun (sold separately) to dispense.

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).

Clear enough to read through, these UV-resistant potting compounds allow optimal light transmission for use with LEDs, solar cells, and fiber optics. 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. All require a mixer nozzle and gun to dispense.
