No mixing required—these potting compounds come ready to apply. Use them 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 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) compounds because they don’t need heat or UV light to cure.

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.

This coating is formulated for use in sensitive applications such as manufacturing semiconductors. Thinner than potting compounds, the coating flows easily into small spaces between electrical components. Use it to secure and insulate hardware on printed circuit boards. Rigid and wear resistant, has excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstands a wide range of temperatures, and provides excellent electrical insulation. It requires a gun and a mixer nozzle (each sold separately) to dispense.
