Title: Development of alternate silicone potting compounds. Volume 9. Development of a new compound based on a resin having a viscosity range of 4. 0 to 6. 5 Pa. s

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6419340

We formulated a new potting compound having an initial viscosity ranging from 3 to 4 Pa.s at 25/sup 0/C by accelerating Sylgard 184 (lot L84-89) with 6 parts of accelerator QCF3-6559 (lot PE-56). The blend has an initial viscosity of 3.3 Pa.s and a gel time of 93 min at 25/sup 0/C. The extractables content is less than 6.0 wt %. The blend is almost as thermally stable as Sylgard 184.
