2C Addition Curing Silicone GEL for Sealing & Potting Applications – Master Bond

    Master Bond MasterSil 170 Gel is a two component system with excellent flowability for potting and encapsulation applications. It possesses a low mixed viscosity of 1,000 cps, has a long working life after mixing (2-4 hours for 100 g batch), a low exotherm upon cure and is easy to dispense. This solvent free silicone product does not require exposure to air for cross-linking. It has a convenient one to one mix ratio by weight and will cure at 75°F or more quickly at elevated temperatures.

     Key Features

     Super soft upon curing

     Convenient handling

     Great optical clarity

     Superb electrical insulator

     Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer:

  “MasterSil 170 Gel has excellent optical clarity. It has a low refractive index of 1.42. Additionally, it exhibits outstanding electrical insulation properties, can cure in thicknesses beyond 1 inch, protects sensitive electronic/optical components against thermal stresses. Most notable for MasterSil 170 Gel is the ability it offers to retrieve delicate components after cure.”
