DOWSIL® Sylgard® 186 Silicone (Polydimethylsiloxane,
PDMS) Elastomer Encapsulation Kit. 2-part, clear/transparent, 10:1,
Room Temperature (RT) and heat cure, good strength, good flame
resistance, UL and Mil Spec. Mixable by hand or by automatic
mixing/dispensing method.
DOWSIL® Sylgard® 186
Silicone Elastomer Clear is a two component, room temperature and heat
curing encapsulant that is used as protective coating for:
LED Lighting encapsulation, Power supplies, Connectors Sensors,
Industrial controls, Transformers, Amplifiers, High voltage resistor
packs, Relays, Adhesive/encapsulant for solar cells, Adhesive handling
beam lead integrated circuits during processing. It provides flowability, flame resistance, and good dielectric properties. 10:1 mix ratio.
POT LIFE AND CURE RATE:
Cure
reaction begins with the mixing process. Initially, cure is evidenced
by a gradual increase in viscosity, followed by gelation and conversion
to a solid elastomer. Pot life is defined as the time required for
viscosity to double after Parts A and B (base and curing agent) are
mixed and is highly temperature and application dependent. Please refer
to the data table.
Always follow the manufacturer's mix and use instructions.
NOTE: DOWSIL SYLGARD 186 is the new name for the former Dow Corning Sylgard 186. Dow Corning is
now fully owned by Dow Chemical Corporation and the Dow Corning name
has been eliminated from the products. All former Dow Corning products
are now identified by Dow Chemical under the DOWSIL or MOLYKOTE
trademarks.
