HONG YE SILICONE Electronic Potting Silicone is a high-performance Silicone Encapsulant customized for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV). It integrates high-pressure resistance, seawater corrosion resistance, waterproof, moisture-proof, thermal conductivity, flame retardancy and high insulation, with excellent adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB and marine-grade metals. Available as Addition Curing Silicone and Platinum cured mold silicone, it operates stably at -60℃ to 220℃, has ultra-low volatile content and high strength, supporting customization to ensure reliable protection of AUV electronic components against harsh underwater environments.
Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Silicone, also called Potting Compound , Electronic Encapsulation Adhesive and silicone encapsulant, is a professional two-component potting material designed for AUVs. After mixing with curing agent, it cures into a solid form, providing comprehensive protection for sensitive electronic components in AUV systems. As a leading Mold Making Silicone and liquid silicone manufacturer, we tailor this product to meet strict marine equipment standards, effectively isolating AUV controllers, navigation modules, sensors and communication units from underwater pressure, seawater erosion, low temperature and mechanical impact. Key Features & Advantages
1. Underwater high-pressure resistance: Excellent pressure-bearing performance, adapting to different deep-water depths of AUVs and avoiding component damage.
2. Seawater corrosion resistance: Strong resistance to seawater, salt spray and marine chemicals, ensuring long-term stable operation in underwater environments.
3. Wide temperature adaptability: Works stably from -60℃ to 220℃, adapting to large temperature differences in deep and shallow waters, protecting chips and welding gold wires.
4. Strong adhesion: Bonds well with PC, PMMA, PCB and marine-grade metals (aluminum, copper, stainless steel).
5. Premium marine-grade quality: Produced with high-purity Silicone raw materials, consistent with our platinum cured Mold Silicone quality control system, meeting AUV equipment standards. How to Use
1. Before mixing, fully stir Component A to evenly distribute settled fillers, and shake Component B thoroughly to ensure uniformity.
2. Mix Component A and B according to the specified weight ratio for AUV equipment requirements.
3. Degas as required: Stir the mixed adhesive evenly, place in a vacuum container, degas at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes, then pour for use.
4. This addition curing silicone product can be cured at room temperature or heated; proceed to the next process after initial curing, with full curing in 24 hours. Ambient temperature and humidity significantly affect curing speed, so strict control is recommended for marine applications.
Application Scenarios
This Silicone Potting Compound is mainly used for encapsulation, sealing, filling and pressure protection of electronic components in AUVs, including AUV control units, navigation modules, sonar sensors and power management systems. It ensures stable operation of components in harsh underwater environments, reduces failure risks, extends AUV service life and improves mission success rate. It can also be used with Rapid prototyping silicone to produce AUV component prototypes, accelerating R&D efficiency for marine equipment manufacturers. Technical Specifications
Available in addition curing and condensation curing types, it is a liquid colloid with good fluidity before curing. After curing, it has excellent thermal conductivity, high insulation, flame retardancy, high-pressure resistance and seawater corrosion resistance, operating stably at -60℃ to 220℃. It features ultra-low volatile content, high bond strength and good impact resistance. Key parameters (hardness, viscosity, operating time) can be customized to meet the specific depth and working requirements of AUVs.
Certifications & Compliance
Our Electronic Potting Silicone meets international marine equipment standards, backed by our factory’s ISO9001, CE and UL certifications. It undergoes strict quality testing to ensure compliance with the high-reliability and corrosion-resistance requirements of AUVs, gaining recognition from global marine equipment manufacturers.
Customization Options
We provide marine-grade customization services. According to AUV requirements, we can adjust curing hardness, viscosity, operating time and curing speed. As a professional manufacturer of silicone potting compound and liquid silicone, we also customize formulations to enhance pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, adapting to different underwater depths and working environments of AUVs.
Notes
1. Store in sealed containers to avoid contamination, ensuring marine-grade purity. Use mixed adhesive at one time to prevent waste and performance degradation.
2. Non-hazardous, but avoid oral intake or eye contact; rinse with water immediately or seek medical attention if accidental contact occurs.
3. If stratification occurs during storage, stir evenly before use—this does not affect product performance or underwater adaptability.
