Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Compound is specially developed for Optical Frequency Combs, dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, waterproofing and insulating its core electronic components, optical comb generators, signal processing boards and PCB boards. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for optical frequency comb scenarios, enhancing high transparency and low optical dispersion to adapt to the ultra-high precision, low-loss requirements of optical frequency transmission. Compared withepoxy potting resin, it has better flexibility, minimal volatile content and excellent thermal stability, supports fast curing, and ensures long-term reliable protection for optical components, reducing failure rates and maintenance costs for optical equipment manufacturers.
Key Features & Advantages
- Ultra-High Transparency & Low Dispersion: Optimized formula with ultra-high light transmittance (≥97% at 1064/1550nm) and minimal optical dispersion, ensuring unobstructed optical frequency transmission, maintaining frequency comb stability and reducing signal distortion.
- Excellent Thermal Stability & Temperature Adaptability: Stable operation from -60℃ to 220℃, effectively absorbing thermal stress generated by optical frequency comb operation, avoiding component deformation and frequency drift, ensuring long-term stable performance.
- High Insulation & Strong Adhesion: High volume resistivity (≥1.0×10¹⁶ Ω·cm), excellent dielectric strength (≥25 kV/mm), isolating external electromagnetic interference; strong adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB and metals (aluminum, copper, stainless steel), ensuring tight sealing and structural stability in high-precision optical systems.
- Low Viscosity & Flexible Curing: Low viscosity, good fluidity, able to penetrate tiny gaps of optical frequency comb components; addition-curing formula, cures at room or heated temperatures, fully cured in 24 hours, easy to operate and improve production efficiency.
- Low Volatility & Customizability: Minimal volatile content, no harmful substances released, avoiding contamination of optical components; as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize hardness, viscosity and operation time to match different optical frequency comb 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 transparency 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 light transmission and frequency stability.
- 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 optical frequency comb 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.
