* Light controllers, wiper controllers

* Infotainment systems & dashboards

Detailed Operating Guide for Silicone Potting Compound:

1. Process Validation: Strongly recommend process validation before mass production to confirm compatibility with your substrates (e.g., epoxy PCB, polyurethane enameled wires).

2. Precise Metering & Mixing: Recommend using static mixers with dual-component meter-mix equipment for absolute ratio accuracy and thorough mixing, critical for long-term automotive reliability.

3. Vacuum Degassing: Vacuum degassing is mandatory to eliminate any potential for partial discharge or increased thermal resistance.

4. Controlled Potting Environment: Potting should be done in a clean, temperature, and humidity-controlled environment to minimize contamination risk.

5. Adequate Curing & Post-Curing: Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours after potting before electrical testing. Final sealing and rigorous environmental testing should be performed after 7 days.

Key Precautions for Silicone Potting Compound:

* Compatibility Testing: Must test compatibility with all materials on the PCBA (solder mask, labels, conformal coatings) to avoid silicone oil bleeding or adhesion failure.

* By-product Release: Curing releases ethanol by-products. Housing design should include vent holes, sealed only after curing is complete.

* Do Not Heat: Heat curing will cause complete product failure and is strictly prohibited.

* Incoming Inspection: Recommend spot-checking key properties (viscosity, pot life) for each batch received.

Packaging & Storage for Silicone Potting Compound:

* Standard Packaging: 22kg/set (20kg A + 2kg B); 11kg/set (10kg A + 1kg B). 200kg steel drums also available for high-volume needs.

* Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

* Shelf Life: 6 months in original, unopened containers from date of manufacture.

FAQ for Silicone Potting Compound:

1. Q: Is this product certified to specific automotive standards?

A: Our products comply with automotive-related material standards (e.g., RoHS). We can support your end-product certification by providing all required Material Data Sheets.

2. Q: How do you prevent delamination during vibration testing?

A: Our optimized formulation ensures excellent adhesion to metals (especially aluminum) and PCBs, while its elastic modulus effectively dissipates vibrational stress. We can provide relevant vibration test reports.

3. Q: Do the curing by-products affect sensitive components?

A: The released ethanol is safe under normal ventilation. For extremely sensitive optical components or contacts, thorough evaluation is recommended. We can also discuss alternative cure systems (e.g., alkoxy).

4. Q: Can you provide UL certification?

A: The HN-8808 series is undergoing UL 94 V-0 certification. Please consult our sales for the latest status.

5. Q: Our production line lacks temperature control in winter, leading to long cure times. Any solution?

A: We understand this issue. While heating is not an option, we can offer a low-temperature fast-cure version that achieves tack-free state within 8 hours even at 15°C. Samples are available for testing.
