Product Overview
Our Thermally Conductive Electronic Potting Compound is specially developed for Electromagnetic Railguns, dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, insulating and heat-dissipating railgun power modules, control boards, signal transmitters and high-voltage components. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for high-temperature, high-voltage and high-impact railgun working scenarios, enhancing thermal conductivity, flame retardancy and impact resistance to adapt to the harsh operation requirements of electromagnetic railguns. Compared with epoxy potting resin, it has excellent low-temperature flexibility, no exotherm during curing, low shrinkage, and effectively extends the service life of railgun electronic components.
Key Features & Advantages
- Excellent Thermal Conductivity: Thermal conductivity ≥0.8 W/(m·K), efficiently transferring heat generated by railgun power modules and high-voltage components during operation, avoiding overheating and ensuring stable equipment performance.
- Top-Level Flame Retardancy: Meets UL94-V0 flame retardant standard, effectively preventing fire spread, adapting to high-voltage and high-temperature working environments of electromagnetic railguns, and ensuring operational safety.
- Superior Insulation & Waterproof Performance: High volume resistivity (≥1.0×10¹⁶ Ω·cm), dielectric strength ≥25 kV/mm, achieving IP65 waterproof level; isolating internal and external interference, preventing short circuits caused by moisture and dust, protecting precision components.
- Wide Temperature Adaptability & Impact Resistance: Stable performance from -60℃ to 220℃, withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations; curing into a soft rubber state, excellent impact resistance, absorbing vibration and impact generated by railgun launch, avoiding component damage.
- Easy Operation & Customizability: 1:1 weight mixing ratio, low viscosity and good fluidity, easy to stir and pour; curable at room or heated temperatures (80℃ for 20 hours, 80-100℃ for 15 minutes); as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize thermal conductivity, hardness, viscosity and operation time to match different railgun models.
How to Use
- Pre-Mix Preparation: Thoroughly stir Component A and Component B in their respective containers to ensure uniform distribution of fillers, avoiding stratification that affects thermal conductivity and flame retardancy.
- Precision Mixing: Strictly follow the 1:1 weight ratio of Component A to Component B, stirring slowly and evenly to ensure full integration without air bubbles that cause heat accumulation and insulation defects.
- Degassing: After mixing, place the adhesive in a vacuum container at 0.08MPa for 5 minutes to eliminate air bubbles, ensuring full penetration into tiny gaps of railgun electronic components.
- Curing: Pour the degassed mixture into component housings; cure at room temperature (4-5 hours) or heat to 80-100℃ to accelerate (15 minutes). Note: Curing time extends with thicker application; winter low temperatures recommend heating curing.
