HONG YE SILICONE Electronic Potting Silicone for Neutron Scattering Instruments is a high-precision two-component Addition Curing Silicone, also known as Electronic Potting Compound and Silicone Encapsulant, tailored for neutron scattering equipment. Crafted from high-puritySilicone raw materials, it features adjustable weight mixing ratio, low viscosity, excellent radiation resistance, waterproof and insulation performance, and stable operation from -60℃ to 220℃. It cures at room or heated temperatures, with strong adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB and metals, protecting core instrument components, ensuring no signal interference, complying with EU RoHS, and supporting full parameter customization to meet global scientific research equipment procurement demands (around 198 characters).
Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Silicone is specially developed for neutron scattering instruments, dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, waterproofing and insulating its core electronic components, neutron detection modules, signal processing boards and PCB boards. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for scientific research scenarios, enhancing radiation resistance and low volatility to adapt to the high-precision, low-contamination requirements of neutron scattering experiments. Compared with epoxy potting resin, it has better flexibility, excellent thermal stability and minimal volatile content, supports fast curing, and ensures long-term reliable protection for instrument components, reducing failure rates and maintenance costs for scientific research institutions and equipment manufacturers.

- Low Volatility & Customizability: Minimal volatile content, no harmful substances released, avoiding contamination of neutron scattering experimental environments; as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize hardness, viscosity and operation time to match different neutron scattering instrument models.
How to Use
- Pre-Mix Preparation: Thoroughly stir Component A to evenly distribute settled fillers, and shake Component B vigorously to ensure uniformity, avoiding stratification that affects radiation resistance and adhesion.
- Precision Mixing: Strictly follow the recommended weight ratio of Component A to B, stirring slowly and evenly to ensure full integration without air bubbles that affect sealing performance.
- Degassing: After mixing, place the adhesive in a vacuum container at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles, ensuring full penetration into tiny gaps of instrument components.
- Curing: Pour the degassed mixture into component housings; cure at room temperature or heat to accelerate, enter the next process after basic curing, and ensure 24 hours of full curing. Note: Environment temperature and humidity significantly affect curing speed.
