Application Details
  • Encapsulation of electronic components
  • All-round potting compound
  • Mold making

Processing

  • The platinum catalyst is in component A.
  • Only components A and B with the same lot number may be processed together.
  • To ensure homogeneity of the material, the components must be stirred thoroughly before they are removed or processed in their containers, in order to uniformly disperse any filler that might have settled during storage.
