HONG YE SILICONE’s Electronic Potting Compound for Underwater Cameras is a high-performance Silicone Encapsulant tailored for underwater camera electronic components. Also called Silicone Potting Compound or Electronic Encapsulation Adhesive, it cures into a dense protective layer after adding hardener, featuring extreme waterproof, corrosion-resistant and pressure-resistant properties. With excellent temperature resistance (-60℃ to 220℃), strong adhesion and low volatility, it is available in addition and condensation curing types, complying with ISO9001, CE and IP68 waterproof standards. Fully customizable, it pairs with our Silicone raw materials to protect underwater camera electronics from water damage, meeting global B2B procurement requirements.
Product Overview
As a core underwater-grade product of HONG YE SILICONE, our Electronic Potting Compound is engineered to provide comprehensive protection for underwater camera electronic components. Different from epoxy potting resin, this high-performance silicone potting compound excels in waterproof, moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant performance, specially designed for harsh underwater environments. It is ideal for encapsulation, sealing, filling and pressure protection of underwater camera electronics, with excellent adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB, CPU and metals (aluminum, copper, stainless steel), ensuring long-term stable operation underwater. Product Features
1. Superior waterproof & pressure resistance: IP68-level waterproof performance, forming a dense, impermeable protective layer after curing, effectively resisting water intrusion and underwater pressure, adapting to different diving depths of underwater cameras.
2. Strong corrosion resistance: Excellent anti-chemical erosion, ozone resistance and seawater corrosion resistance, avoiding damage to camera electronics from seawater, sediment and underwater chemicals.
3. Extreme temperature adaptability: Operates stably from -60℃ to 220℃, absorbs thermal cycle stress, protects camera chips and welding gold wires, adapting to cold deep water and high-temperature outdoor storage environments.
4. High adhesion & stability: Low volatility, high strength and strong adhesion to various materials (PC, PMMA, metals), ensuring no peeling or loosening underwater, maintaining sealing performance for a long time.
5. Easy operation & customizable: Available in addition and condensation curing types; simple mixing and defoaming process, room-temperature or curing optional; hardness, viscosity and operating time fully customizable.
Technical Specifications
This electronic potting compound is made of high-quality silicone raw materials, liquid before curing, curing into a dense protective layer after adding hardener. It features IP68 waterproof rating, temperature resistance from -60℃ to 220℃, excellent insulation and thermal conductivity. As an addition curing product, it can be cured at room or elevated temperature, with full curing in 24 hours (environment temperature and humidity affect curing speed). Defoaming at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes is recommended; all key parameters are customizable to match underwater camera requirements.
Application Scenarios
Widely applied in encapsulation and protection of electronic components in various underwater cameras, including diving cameras, underwater action cameras, underwater surveillance cameras, marine exploration cameras, and underwater camera lenses. It protects camera PCBs, CPUs, sensors, power modules and connection ports from water intrusion, corrosion and pressure, ensuring clear shooting and stable operation in shallow and deep water environments.
Core Value for Buyers
1. Ensure underwater reliability: IP68 waterproof and pressure resistance prevent water damage to camera electronics, reducing product failure rate and improving brand credibility.
2. Extend service life: Comprehensive corrosion and temperature protection adapt to harsh underwater environments, extending the service life of underwater cameras and lowering after-sales costs.
3. Enhance product competitiveness: Strong adhesion and stability ensure consistent performance underwater, helping buyers’ products stand out in the global underwater camera market.
4. Compliance assurance: Meets international certifications and IP68 waterproof standards, avoiding trade barriers, suitable for global underwater camera procurement.
How to Use
1. Pre-mixing: Fully stir Component A to mix settled fillers evenly, and shake Component B (hardener) thoroughly before use to ensure uniform performance.
2. Mixing: Stir Component A and B in the specified weight ratio until fully fused, avoiding uneven mixing that affects waterproof performance.
3. Defoaming: Put mixed glue into a vacuum container, defoam at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes, then proceed to potting to avoid bubbles leaving gaps.
4. Potting & curing: Pour defoamed glue into underwater camera electronic components, cure at room or elevated temperature; enter next process after basic curing, full curing in 24 hours.
