HONG YE SILICONE Electronic Potting Compound for Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLGs) is a high-precision two-component Addition Curing Silicone, also known as Silicone Encapsulant and electronic Potting Compound, tailored for RLG equipment. Crafted from high-purity Silicone raw materials, it features adjustable weight mixing ratio, low volatility, temperature adaptability (-60℃ to 220℃), and excellent insulation & shock resistance. It cures at room or heated temperatures, adheres well to PC, PMMA, PCB and metals, protects RLG core components without signal interference, complies with EU RoHS, and supports full parameter customization (around 198 characters).
Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Compound is specially developed for Ring Laser Gyroscopes, dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, insulating and protecting RLG laser cavities, signal detectors, control boards and precision electronic components. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for high-stability RLG working scenarios, enhancing low signal interference, shock resistance and dimensional stability to adapt to the high-precision navigation requirements of RLGs. Compared with epoxy potting resin, it has minimal volatile content, no exotherm during curing, low shrinkage, and absorbs vibration stress, ensuring stable laser signal transmission and navigation accuracy of RLGs.
Key Features & Advantages
- Ultra-High Insulation & Low Interference: High volume resistivity (≥1.0×10¹⁶ Ω·cm), excellent dielectric strength (≥25 kV/mm), isolating internal and external static and electromagnetic interference, avoiding distortion of RLG laser signals and ensuring high-precision navigation data output.
- Superior Shock & Vibration Resistance: Cures into a flexible, high-strength rubber state, effectively absorbing vibration and impact generated during RLG operation or transportation, protecting laser cavities and precision components from damage, maintaining structural stability.
- Wide Temperature Adaptability & Stability: Stable performance from -60℃ to 220℃, withstanding extreme temperature fluctuations in aerospace, marine and industrial environments; no aging or performance degradation, ensuring long-term reliable operation of RLGs in harsh conditions.
- High Purity & Easy Operation: Minimal volatile content, no harmful residues or outgassing, avoiding contamination of RLG laser cavities and affecting laser signal quality; adjustable weight mixing ratio, optional vacuum degassing (0.01MPa for 3 minutes), curable at room or heated temperatures, improving encapsulation efficiency.
- Strong Adhesion & Customizability: Excellent adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB, aluminum, copper and stainless steel, ensuring tight sealing of RLG components; as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize hardness, viscosity, operation time and shock resistance to match different RLG 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 shock resistance performance.
- 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 distortion and component damage.
- Degassing (Optional): After mixing, place the adhesive in a vacuum container at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles, then pour it into RLG components for encapsulation.
- Curing: Place the encapsulated RLGs at room temperature or heat to accelerate curing; enter the next process after basic curing, and ensure 24 hours of full curing. Note: Environment temperature and humidity significantly affect curing speed.
