Epoxy Potting on Silicone Rubber
Facts of Dome Epoxy Resin
Two options: hard or soft epoxy
- Soft Epoxy: is a clear, thermosetting resin to encase a (graphical) surface. Epoxy Potting process is taken place in a cleanroom of Class 100,000.
- Hard Epoxy: is a clear, resin to encase a (graphical) surface and needs to be cured under UV chamber. Epoxy Potting process is taken place in a cleanroom of Class 100,000.
Dome-shaped Epoxy Potting is intended for perfectly horizontally flat surface. It is not intended for concave or indented surface – due to its capillary nature.
Stemming from its property of capillary action, corner of the treated surface (top-view) must have a radius angle instead of a acute angle.
Advantages
- Optical clear.
- High performance bonding and sealing.
- Harden and can protect treated surface.
- Excellent resistance to thermal shock.
- Superior chemcial resistance.
- Abrasion resistance.
Limitations
Generally speaking:
- For Regular Shape:
- Diameter or Width or Length: 2mm to 25mm
- Height: about 1mm
- For Relatively Irregular Shape:
- Diameter or Width or Length: 2mm to 20mm
- Height: about 1mm
