Pin Connector Potting using UV Cure Silicone and UV Dual Cure Silicone
For long-term durability and extend product life-cycles consider using NOVAGARD® Silicones UV cured potting compounds to improve and maintain leak prevention and corrosion resistance in pin connector assemblies subjected to harsh environments. Under-hood and under-body automotive connectors are potentially exposed to extreme conditions including, salt-spray, elevated temperatures and a variety of automotive chemicals. Even some industrial pin connector assemblies in non-automotive applications may endure severe environmental extremes. UV-cured silicone potting compounds from NOVAGARD® Silicones out-perform competitive brands in adhesion and durability.
Ultra-Violet Systems
- Exceptionally fast UV cure ; Room temperature curing
- Minimal UV energy requirements; Little or no heat generated so parts remain cool
- Process or package a part immediately; No racking
- Cure up to 5/8” (16 mm) of material 10 times faster than other well known brands
- No oxygen inhibition ; No corrosive by-products
- Excellent dielectric properties
UV/Moisture Dual Cure
- Cures upon exposure to either a UV light source or atmospheric moisture
- Dual cure continues to build strength and adhesion after the initial UV cure cycle
- Moisture cure eliminates shadow effects on complex parts
- Neutral, non-corrosive secondary cure system will not harm sensitive components
- Excellent dielectric properties
- Solvent Free / 100% solids – no VOC’s to handle or report
