Thermally Conductive Potting Compound
A two-component, silicone-based potting compound that seals electronic assemblies while conducting heat away from enclosed components, combining moisture, dust, and vibration protection with thermal management.
Strengths
- Thermal conductivity 1.0–3.0 W/m·K — dissipates heat from potted components
- Bonds to PCB substrates, metal housings, ceramic parts, and most plastics
- Cured material provides full electrical insulation — protects from moisture and condensation
- Low shrinkage during cure — components remain in their dispensed positions
- Service range -40 ~ +150 °C; UL94 V-0 rated grades available
- RoHS compliant; flame-rated grades available for safety-critical assemblies
Customization
- Conductivity grade: 1.0–1.5 W/m·K (standard) or 2.0–3.0 W/m·K (power electronics)
- Flame rating: standard or UL94 V-0 compound
- Viscosity: pourable for gravity-fill or higher-viscosity for dispensing
- Cure speed: room-temperature slow-cure or 60 °C oven fast-cure

Installation Notes
- AC/DC power supply and inverter module potting
- Outdoor LED driver unit encapsulation
- Automotive ECU and telematics module sealing
- EV battery BMS protection and thermal bonding
- Military-grade and industrial electronics
- Outdoor telecom unit waterproofing
Installation Notes
- Degas under vacuum to eliminate air inclusions before pouring
- Fill cavity to the specified level; cure per schedule — do not disturb during cure
- Cure is irreversible — position all components correctly before potting starts; wear PPE during mixing
