Loctite 5083 One-Part Potting & Encapsulating Compound - 200 ml

Loctite 5083 One-Part Potting & Encapsulating Compound - 200 ml

The Loctite 5083 One-Part Potting & Encapsulating Compound - 200 ml is an instant bonding compound. This self-leveling, instant bonding compound flows easily and helps in encapsulation, sealing applications as well as potting. The medium viscous encapsulating compound works well for light curing. It is very important to expose the compound to light and a specific proper wavelength and intensity to allow better curing. It is again very important for the spectral output of the light source to match with the adhesive pattern of light absorption. The UV and visible light wavelengths used to cure adhesives comprises a small portion of the complete electromagnetic spectrum.

When you want to increase process speeds, or want to eliminate work-in-progress stage or to reduce production costs, the Loctite 5083 Potting & Encapsulating Compound - 200 ML Cartridge is your best bet. The one-part silicone cures when exposed to high power light source or UV rays cures in a matter of seconds.

After curing, the Loctite 5083 Potting & Encapsulating Compound - 200 ML Cartridge becomes a soft, transclucent, non-yellowing elastomers and they offer resistance from moisture, corrosion, weather and temperature. You can use this compound for the following applications:

• Potting electrical connectors and components
• Lead termination
• Sealing lenses to housings
• Bonding flexible components
• Gasketing electrical enclosures
• Seam sealing
• Glass bonding
• Sealing headlamps
• Moisture barrier sealing
• Cure-in-place gasketing

Elongation at break 170% Shore Hardness A 55

Light curing adhesives must be exposed to light of the proper wavelength and intensity to cure.  The UV and visible light wavelengths used to cure adhesives comprises a small portion of the complete electromagnetic spectrum shown. For the most effective cure, the spectral output of the light source used must match the adhesive pattern of light absorption.
