HONG YE SILICONE Electronic Potting Silicone is a specialized Silicone Potting Compound engineered for agricultural monitoring sensors, a core Silicone raw material for protecting sensitive agricultural electronics. As a premium Electronic Encapsulation Adhesive, it features waterproof, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, flame-retardant and high-insulation properties, curing at room or elevated temperatures. With excellent adhesion to PCB, PC and metal components, it works stably from -60℃ to 220℃, ensuring accurate data collection, meeting the rigorous demands of global agricultural equipment manufacturers and purchasers.
Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Silicone is tailored exclusively for agricultural monitoring sensors—critical for ensuring stable, reliable operation of soil moisture sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors and crop growth monitors. As a leading manufacturer of industrial silicone materials, including liquid silicone and Thermally Conductive Potting Compound, we optimized this formula to address agricultural challenges: outdoor rain, high humidity, soil corrosion, temperature fluctuations, and long-term field operation. Unlike ordinary Epoxy Potting Resin, it is flexible, anti-ozone, and corrosion-resistant, protecting delicate sensor chips and soldered joints, ensuring long-term accuracy and operational stability. Technical Specifications
This Electronic Potting Silicone is a two-component silicone material, available in addition-curing and condensation-curing types. Its key parameters (fully customizable) include: working temperature range of -60℃ to 220℃, excellent adhesion to PCB, PC, PMMA, aluminum, copper and stainless steel, low volatility, high strength, flame-retardant, high-insulation and anti-corrosion properties. It can be cured at room temperature (full curing in 24 hours) or heated for accelerated curing, with vacuum defoaming (0.01MPa for 3 minutes) recommended. Hardness, viscosity and operation time can be adjusted according to agricultural monitoring sensor requirements.
Product Features & Advantages
- Superior Outdoor Anti-Corrosion: Resists corrosion from soil, fertilizers, and agricultural chemicals, adapting to harsh agricultural field environments and extending sensor service life.
- Excellent Waterproof & Moisture-Proof: High sealing performance, effectively preventing rain, dew and soil moisture from entering sensors, avoiding short circuits and component damage.
- Wide Temperature Adaptability: Works stably from -60℃ to 220℃, withstanding extreme cold in winter and high temperature in summer, ensuring year-round reliable data collection.
- Strong Adhesion & Low Shrinkage: Bonds firmly to sensor components, PCB and metal casings, low shrinkage during curing, avoiding component detachment and affecting measurement accuracy.
- Anti-Interference & High Insulation: Effectively shields external interference, ensuring accurate signal transmission and stable data collection of agricultural sensors.
- Customizable Performance: Hardness, viscosity and operation time can be adjusted, matching different agricultural sensor sizes and installation scenarios (field, greenhouse, orchard).
How to Use (Step-by-Step)
- Pre-Mix Preparation: Fully stir Component A to evenly mix settled fillers, and shake Component B thoroughly before use to ensure uniform adhesion and anti-corrosion performance.
- Component Mixing: Mix Component A and Component B in the recommended weight ratio, stirring continuously until homogeneous to avoid uneven curing and signal interference.
- Vacuum Defoaming: Place the mixed silicone in a vacuum container, defoam at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes, then proceed to potting to avoid air bubbles affecting insulation and sealing.
- Curing Process: Pour the silicone into the agricultural sensor housing, cure at room temperature or heat to accelerate. Allow basic curing before proceeding to the next process; full curing takes 24 hours (temperature and humidity affect curing speed).
