How to Choose Silicone Potting Adhesive and Silicone gel
Oct 06,2023 Hanast
In order to improve and stabilize product performance, silicone sealant is widely used. How to choose between silicone potting compound and silicone gel materials with potting performance.
silicone potting compounds and silicone gel have many similar advantages, including excellent insulation protection, strong sealing performance, environmental pollution prevention, excellent thermal stability and excellent stress relief characteristics from good to excellent. But each type of material has its unique advantages.
waterproof potting compound:
Organosilicon sealant is usually divided into three categories: standard, self adhesive without primer, and special grade. If strong adhesion is required, standard potting adhesive requires the use of primer. In contrast, during the curing process, when the potting adhesive is heated to a temperature above 100 ℃, it will adhere to many common surfaces. The hardness range of the potting adhesive is between Shore 00 20 and Shore A 65, providing a mature solution suitable for various applications.
The characteristics of waterproof potting compound:
1. Better wear resistance and damage resistance.
2. Easy to rework and repair.
3. Unique optional solutions can be achieved: self absorbing adhesion, optical and aerospace grades, and thermal management.
Silicone gel:
Most organosilicon gel have excellent stress relief properties, and the surface is sticky, which can naturally adhere to common surfaces without the use of primer. High performance silicone gel are divided into four series: standard, low temperature, flexible and special. Product specifications are usually determined based on the application's stress relief, adhesion, or curing time and working time requirements.
Features of organosilicon gel:
1. Maximize stress relief.
2. Self repair.
3. Unique optional solutions can achieve: solvent and fuel resistance, rapid UV curing.
Both silicone potting adhesive and silicone gel materials can meet the diverse applications and needs of customers.
