The 832B Black Epoxy Encapsulating and Potting Compound is an electric grade epoxy. It is simple to mix and easy to use. This two parts black epoxy provides great insulation and protection value.
It protects against static discharges, shocks, vibrations, and mechanical impacts. It insulates against heat and conductivity. It is extremely resistant to environmental humidity, salt water, and many harsh chemicals.
Applications & Usages
The 832B epoxy is used to pot or encapsulate printed circuit assemblies in protective blocks. The cured epoxy improves reliability, operational range, and lengthens the life of electrical and electronic parts. It
also helps hide and restrict access to proprietary design elements.
Its primary applications are in the automobile, marine, aerospace, aviation, communication, instrumentation, and industrial control equipment.
