Harsh Environment Coatings for Electronics
High humidity, harsh chemicals, water submersions, and salt are no match for these electronic coatings. They also resist UV light, so they’ll work outdoors. Use them on circuit boards, sensors, and LED drivers in heavy machinery. Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely.
PVDF coatings are more flexible than epoxy coatings. They’re IPC certified for use on circuit boards. You can also use them to protect against corrosion on metal joints. To apply, brush or spray them on, or dip your components in.
Epoxy coatings resist impact and wear better than PVDF coatings, and they work in higher temperatures. You can also use them as an adhesive. For controlled pouring, they’re thickened with silicate. These coatings are autoclavable, and they’ll even cure underwater. Dispense them with a mixer nozzle and a gun (each sold separately).

Optically Clear Coatings for Electronics
Protect LEDs, solar cells, and fiber optics with a coating that’s clear enough to see through. These coatings let optimal light pass through and repel dust and moisture, so they won’t distort your view of what’s underneath. Made of silicone, they won’t cloud in hot, humid environments. That means they’re great for use outdoors, such as on signs and instrumentation panels. Also known as conformal coatings, these coatings are thinner than potting compounds, flowing into the smallest contours on your device to cover it completely. Silicone conformal coatings are the most flexible kind of conformal coating, so they won’t crack or peel from vibration. To protect sensitive equipment, these coatings also prevent static discharge.
Simply spray these coatings on your device without needing a potting box or other container. Since they cure at room temperature, you won’t need UV lights or cure ovens either. You can remove them if necessary.
These coatings are IPC certified for use with circuit boards. They also meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. They cannot be sold in California due to local regulatory limits on VOCs.

Component-Concealing Coatings for Electronics
Hide proprietary information on electrical components while also protecting them from moisture, dust, and static. All it takes is a single thin layer of these black coatings. They’re often used to protect custom parts while prototyping. Place them under a UV curing lamp to fully harden them in just 5 seconds. Made of urethane, they resist chemicals and scratches and won’t crack in low temperatures. That means they’re great for harsh environments. These coatings meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.
Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours to cover your parts completely. They also don’t require a potting box or other container. Dispense these coatings with a gun (sold separately).

High-Temperature Coatings for Electronics
Even in furnace-like heat, these coatings protect your electronics from moisture, dust, and static. They withstand temperatures up to 270° higher than standard silicone coatings while remaining flexible enough to not crack and peel from vibration. Whether your circuit board is in a hot, humid shop or inside heavy machinery that heats up and vibrates, these coatings keep it protected. Made of silicone, they won’t cloud from humidity.
Also known as conformal coatings, they’re thinner than potting compounds, so they flow into the smallest contours of your components to cover them completely. Simply spray these coatings on your device without needing a potting box or other container. They contain a UV indicator, so you can use a blacklight to check if they’ve been applied evenly. You can remove these coatings if necessary.
These coatings are IPC certified for use with circuit boards. For flame retardance, they meet UL 94 V-0. They cannot be sold in California or outside North America due to regulatory limits on VOCs.

Ready-to-Use Silicone Potting Compounds
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.

Light-Activated Silicone Potting Compounds
These compounds dry quickly when exposed to UV light allowing you to handle the potted items sooner. Made of silicone, they’re softer and more flexible than epoxy or urethane compounds, so they’re better at protecting against shocks and vibration. They also withstand a wider range of temperatures, so they’re often used with electronics that heat and cool rapidly. These compounds are excellent electrical insulators, and they’ll shield your components from moisture and dust. However, they don’t hold up well to abrasion or chemicals. The tapered nozzle lets you apply them precisely.

Reusable Silicone Potting Compounds
Make repairs or changes to electrical components after they’ve been potted. While most compounds are permanent, these form a gel that bonds to itself, so you can peel it off without damaging your equipment. Often used in junction boxes, they form a water- and dust-proof seal that’s rated IP68 while also providing excellent electrical insulation. Made of silicone, they withstand a wide range of temperatures and are soft and flexible enough to resist shock and vibration. However, they’re not as strong as permanent potting compounds, so they don’t resist scrapes as well as those made of epoxy and urethane. They’re also not as chemical resistant as epoxy and urethane compounds.
These compounds won’t solidify once you open the container, so you have time to make adjustments when applying them. When removing them from your components, they mostly come off in one piece but there might be some residue left over.
Bottle compounds are a better choice for filling up new enclosures than cartridge compounds because you can pour more in at a time. They have a compartment for each component and require mixing.
Cartridge compounds have a nozzle for precise application. The nozzle can also fit into junction box knockouts, so it’s easier to fill up installed enclosures than it is with bottle compounds. They come ready to use with no mixing required and no waiting time.

High-Temperature Epoxy Potting Compounds
Protect circuit boards and other electronics where high heat is a concern but you don’t need to transfer that heat elsewhere. These compounds are a good middle ground between standard epoxy compounds and heat-transfer compounds. They work at temperatures twice as high as standard epoxy compounds. However, they don't conduct heat as well as heat-transfer compounds so they're not the best choice for circuit boards that run for long periods of time. Harden these compounds at room temperature—they don’t require an oven to harden like heat-transfer compounds do.
Since they’re an epoxy compound, they won’t break down from chemicals or moisture. They’re also excellent electrical insulators and withstand a wide range of temperatures. Use them to shield components from dust, moisture, chemicals, mechanical shock, and vibration.
Jar and syringe compounds are the consistency of honey once they’re mixed, so they’ll seep into the crevices of a circuit board and encapsulate intricate components. Use the syringe for precise application.
Bottle compounds are easier to apply in higher volumes than jar and syringe compounds. Mix them together and pour them over components inside containers, such as a potting box. If air bubbles occur after mixing, you can put the mixture in a vacuum chamber to remove them. They cannot be sold to Canada due to product labeling requirements.

Combine the flexibility of silicone with the durability of standard epoxy—these compounds are great for protecting sensitive electronics that need to flex or expand and contract. Because they’re an epoxy, they still have excellent moisture, chemical, and abrasion resistance. They withstand a wide range of temperatures, and this formulation won’t crack or split as components heat up and cool down. These compounds are excellent electrical insulators, and they’ll shield your components from moisture and dust. You can also use them as an adhesive since they’re also tacky.
They come in a cartridge, so you can apply them precisely. To dispense, they require a mixer nozzle and gun (both sold separately).

Heat-Transfer Potting Compounds
Formulated to draw heat away from sensitive electronic components, these potting compounds have higher thermal conductivity than standard potting compounds. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, chemicals, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Rigid and wear resistant, epoxies are the strongest of the potting compounds. They have excellent chemical and moisture resistance, withstand a wide range of temperatures, and provide excellent electrical insulation.
Cartridge potting compound requires a gun and mixer nozzle (each sold separately) to dispense.
