Can liquid silicone be used for sealing and potting?
Nov 29,2023 Hanast
When many people talk about sealing and potting equipment, they will think of electronic potting glue. This is natural. Electronic potting glue has excellent properties such as waterproof and moisture-proof, sealing, insulation and thermal conductivity. However, this kind of glue has no tear resistance. If you use a fingernail to buckle it with a little force, this kind of silicone will easily break.
As mentioned above, the electronic potting glue specially used for sealing needs to have thermal conductivity, so a large amount of thermally conductive metal powder materials are added during the production process. This result directly leads to the loss of performance of the electronic potting glue.
Condensation mold silicone and addition liquid silicone can actually be used for sealing and filling. Both liquid silicones have good fluidity, and after curing, they have good sealing, waterproofness, and aging resistance. What's more important is that after curing, both condensation and addition silicone have excellent tear resistance and performance, and can withstand the impact and extrusion of external forces.
To sum up, all liquid silicone is used for sealing and potting. The viscosity, hardness, and color can be adjusted appropriately according to customer requirements to facilitate customer operation.
