Product Overview
Our Electronic Potting Compound is specially developed for Micro-Electrode Arrays, dedicated to encapsulating, sealing, insulating and protecting MEA micro-electrode tips, connection pads, PCB substrates and signal transmission components. As a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone and addition curing silicone, we optimize the formula for high-sensitivity MEA working scenarios, enhancing ultra-low signal interference, high purity and corrosion resistance to adapt to the strict precision requirements of MEAs. Compared with epoxy potting resin, it has minimal volatile content, no exotherm during curing, low shrinkage, and absorbs thermal stress, ensuring stable signal transmission and detection accuracy of MEAs.
Key Features & Advantages
- Ultra-Low Signal Interference: High volume resistivity (≥1.0×10¹⁶ Ω·cm), excellent dielectric strength (≥25 kV/mm), avoiding interference with MEA weak electrical signals, ensuring accurate detection and transmission of bioelectrical or electrochemical signals without distortion.
- High Purity & Non-Toxicity: Ultra-low volatile content, no harmful residues or outgassing, avoiding contamination of MEA micro-electrode tips and test samples (especially biological samples), complying with laboratory and medical-grade safety requirements.
- Wide Temperature Adaptability & Stability: Stable performance from -60℃ to 220℃, withstanding temperature fluctuations in laboratory and industrial testing environments; effectively absorbing thermal stress, protecting MEA micro-electrodes and welding gold wires from damage, extending service life.
- Strong Adhesion & Corrosion Resistance: Excellent adhesion to PC, PMMA, PCB, aluminum, copper and stainless steel, ensuring tight sealing of MEA components; superior anti-ozone and chemical erosion resistance, adapting to corrosive testing environments.
- Easy Operation & Customizability: Adjustable weight mixing ratio, optional vacuum degassing (0.01MPa for 3 minutes), curable at room or heated temperatures, improving encapsulation efficiency; as a professional Silicone Potting Compound manufacturer, we customize hardness, viscosity and operation time to match different MEA 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 signal 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 micro-electrode damage or signal distortion.
- Degassing (Optional): After mixing, place the adhesive in a vacuum container at 0.01MPa for 3 minutes to eliminate air bubbles, then carefully pour it into MEA components to avoid damaging micro-electrode tips.
- Curing: Place the encapsulated MEAs 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.
