Two new black epoxy potting compounds to protect electronic assemblies

Epoxy potting and encapsulation compounds protect electronic assemblies from many environmental factors such as water, harsh chemicals, physical damage, shock and vibration. Techsil supply potting epoxies from manufacturers MG Chemicals who know the demands of the electronics industry and provide a range of high spec solutions. The two new black potting and encapsulation compounds available are MG832HD - an economical, flowable, electronic-grade black epoxy that provides excellent physical, chemical, and electrical protection. It features a very hard shell, harder than standard black epoxies, providing a greater protection against extreme impacts and vibrations. It is available in dual cartridge format. The second is the MG832FX - a flexible black epoxy encapsulating and potting compound. It forms a tough bond that flexes to provide impact and vibration resistance and offer excellent physical, chemical, and electrical protection. This Epoxy is particularly effective where severe thermal shocks occur in the components' environment or where devices are in a submersion state. The black colour means they help hide and restrict access to intellectual property and protect proprietary electrical circuit designs.
