Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of silicone 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).

Cartridge potting compound requires a gun (sold separately) to dispense; use it with the included mixer nozzle.

Clear enough to read through, these UV-resistant potting compounds allow optimal light transmission for use with LEDs, solar cells, and fiber optics. 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, these silicone compounds are the best choice for high-temperature applications and electronics exposed to thermal cycling. They have excellent electrical insulation and good moisture resistance but poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).

Compounds in a cartridge come with a mixer nozzle for precise application. You need a gun (sold separately) to dispense.

Compounds in a bottle are easy to apply in high volumes. Just mix and pour them over components inside containers, such as potting boxes.

Liquid compounds harden around your component to form a strong, durable, and permanent layer of protection.

Gel compounds form a soft and flexible layer of protection. You can also remove them if you need to re-access your components. They are rated IP68 once potted, so they seal out water even if submersed.

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.

Potting compounds that meet UL 94 V-0 have passed a test for flame retardance.

Potting compounds that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Pot multiple electronics in a flash—these compounds don’t require mixing and they cure within seconds under UV light. 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.

Also known as thermal pads and thermal interface pads, these heat-dissipating pads pull heat away from electronic components. They’re often used to fill gaps between two surfaces that require thermal contact. All meet UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

Quickly conduct heat away from electronic components. Tape is made of Kapton® polyimide for excellent electrical isolation, and the thermally conductive silicone facing gives it a nonstick surface.
