Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Compound is specially developed for Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC), dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, insulating and protecting RPC resistive plates, signal readout modules, PCB substrates, electrode connections and data transmission components. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for particle detection scenarios, enhancing radiation resistance, high insulation and anti-interference performance to adapt to the high-precision, harsh environment requirements of RPCs. Compared with epoxy potting resin, it has minimal volatile content, excellent temperature adaptability, no exotherm during curing, and absorbs thermal stress, ensuring long-term reliable operation of RPC components in particle physics experiments and radiation detection environments.
Key Features & Advantages
- Excellent Radiation Resistance & Low Interference: Optimized formula with strong resistance to ionizing radiation, avoiding material aging and performance degradation in long-term particle detection missions; ultra-low electromagnetic interference, ensuring accurate signal readout of RPCs without distortion.
- Superior Temperature Adaptability & Stress Absorption: Stable performance from -60℃ to 220℃, withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations in laboratory and industrial detection environments; effectively absorbing thermal stress generated by component operation, avoiding deformation and damage to RPC resistive plates.
- High Insulation & Corrosion Resistance: High volume resistivity (≥1.0×10¹⁶ Ω·cm), excellent dielectric strength, isolating internal and external interference and static; waterproof, moisture-proof, dust-proof and anti-chemical corrosion, adapting to strict RPC operating environments.
- Low Viscosity & Flexible Curing: Low viscosity, good fluidity, penetrating tiny gaps of RPC components and electrode connections; addition-curing formula, cures at room or heated temperatures, fully cured in 24 hours, easy to operate and improve production efficiency.
- Strong Adhesion & Customizability: Excellent adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB, aluminum, copper and other metals, ensuring tight sealing of RPC components; as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize hardness, viscosity, operation time and curing speed to match different RPC 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 insulation and radiation resistance.
- 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 cause signal interference and affect detection accuracy.
- 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 RPC 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.
