Product Overview
Dowsil EE-1100 is a two-part silicone encapsulant designed for electrical and electronic applications. It cures to form a flexible elastomer, providing excellent protection and insulation for sensitive components. The product is known for its ease of use, with a simple 1:1 mix ratio, and does not require post-cure, allowing for immediate use after curing.
Product Description
Dowsil EE-1100 is a room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) or heat-curable silicone encapsulant that offers a range of benefits for industrial applications. It cures without exotherm, ensuring that it can be used in thick sections without the risk of thermal damage. The encapsulant is flexible, stress-relieving, and provides good dielectric properties, making it suitable for protecting components from environmental and mechanical stresses. It is also repairable, allowing for easy maintenance and modification of assembled units.
Special Properties
One of the standout features of Dowsil EE-1100 is its primerless adhesion to many surfaces, which simplifies the application process by eliminating the need for surface treatment. The product cures at a constant rate regardless of the thickness of the section or the degree of confinement, ensuring consistent performance. Additionally, it has a low durometer Shore A hardness of 15, providing a soft and flexible cured material that can absorb vibrations and thermal expansion. The volume resistivity of 2.7+E16 ohm*cm and dielectric strength of 500 volts/mil (20 kV/mm) make it an excellent insulator for electrical applications.
Application Scenarios
Dowsil EE-1100 is widely used in various industries for protecting and insulating electrical and electronic components. Common applications include power supplies, connectors, sensors, industrial controls, transformers, amplifiers, high voltage resistor packs, and solar cells. The product's flexibility and dielectric properties make it ideal for use in environments where components are subject to mechanical stress, thermal cycling, and electrical interference. For example, in the solar industry, EE-1100 is used to encapsulate solar cells, providing protection against moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical damage while maintaining electrical insulation.
