Processing
Surface Preparation
- All surfaces must be clean and free of contaminants that will inhibit the cure of WACKER SilGel® 612 EH. Examples of inhibiting contaminants are sulfur containing materials, plasticizers, urethanes, amine containing materials and organometallic compounds especially organotin compounds.
- If a substrate’s ability to inhibit cure is unknown, a small-scale test should be run to determine compatibility.
Mixing
Only components A and B with the same lot number may be processed together. Component B of WACKER SilGel® 612 EH contains the platinum catalyst, component A the crosslinker. Even traces of the platinum catalyst may cause gelling of the component containing the crosslinker. To eliminate any air introduced during dispensing or trapped under components or devices a vacuum encapsulation is recommended.
Curing
The curing time is highly dependent on temperature, size and heat sink properties of the component being potted.
