It is ideal for potting and encapsulation of electronic and electrical modules for weather proofing and mechanical shock protection. The two components are low viscosity for ease of mixing and the removal of entrapped air. The cure process is non-exothermic. The cured elastomer is opaque and moderately hard. It is non-corrosive to copper

COMPOSITION:

• 1:1 Ratio (volume and Weight)
• 2-Part
• Polydimethylsiloxane elastomer

APPLICATION  METHOD:

(NB The above mechanical and electrical properties have been measured at 25C, RH of 55%, and after curing for 7 days)

CHARACTERISTICS:

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mixing
• Premix the contents of both containers to ensure any settled components are incorporated uniformly.
• Measure out equal components of the product by weight or by volume and mix gently but thoroughly. Stir up from the bottom of the container and around the sides until the color is uniform. Mixing may be performed mechanically or by hand, but care should be taken to avoid entrapment of air.
• De-air by allowing it to stand for 5-10 minutes. For critical applications where small voids are undesirable, reduced pressure may be used. Partially filled containers should be subjected to a vacuum of 5-10mm of Hg for 5- 10 minutes.
• Pour slowly into the cavities and tap gently to release any entrapped air pockets.
Curing:
Initial cure is achieved in 16-24 hours at room temperature. To accelerate the cure, higher temperatures may be used, 2-4 hours at 65C is usually sufficient.

STORAGE:

Store in closed containers, undercover, in a cool and dry environment out of direct sunlight.
The shelf life of unopened containers stored at <25C is 1 year.
This product may settle during storage.
Do not return any unused material to the containers.

SAFETY:

Avoid breathing any fumes, mists, and vapors. The use of approved breathing apparatus is required for more than minimal exposure. Always work in areas with adequate ventilation to allow chemical fumes, and where applicable, solvent fumes to dissipate. The use of goggles, and rubber gloves, is required. If the material gets into the eyes, flush thoroughly with clear water for fifteen minutes; then seek medical treatment. Avoid skin contact. Material may cause contact dermatitis. Always wash exposed areas immediately, using warm water and soap, followed by rinsing with clean water. Observe all safety precautions. It is important when using solvent-based materials or solvents to keep away from open flames or ignition source

PRECAUTIONS:

This product is capable of producing adverse health effects ranging from minor skin irritation to serious systemic effects. None of these materials should be used, stored, or transported until the handling precautions and recommendations as stated in the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for this and all other products being used are understood by all persons who will work with the material.
