Potting compound
A dual-cure silicone potting compound delivers complete cure to almost 1-inch depths for deep potting applications with shadowed areas where light cannot reach. It offers instant cure to a depth of 22 mm when exposed to initial UV-light cure. A secondary moisture cure mechanism takes over in deeper potting scenarios or shadowed areas to provide a complete cure.

Coating
Curing in seconds when exposed to UV/visible light, 9-20557 exhibits good adhesion to PCB surfaces that receive little or no cleaning. The cured coating forms a transparent layer that protects underlying circuitry and components from moisture, dust, and other contaminants. It can be used where frequent thermal cycling occurs, from -40 to 150F. Using precision dispensing systems, the one-component coating can be applied for consistent spray application.

Flame retardants
Non-halogenated flame-retardant compounds are designed to help engineers meet tougher environmental guidelines such as the German Blue Angel, the EU White Flower Eco-label, and the Nordic White Swan. The products are said to offer V-0 performance, lower smoke emission during combustion, and lower corrosivity to sensitive metal and electronic circuitry.
