Pottmassor, or potting masses, are encapsulating materials used to enclose electronic assemblies and other components. They are applied as liquids or semi solids and cure to a solid, providing environmental protection and mechanical support. The primary purpose is to protect circuits from moisture, dust, chemicals, vibration, and tampering, and to improve electrical insulation.
Common materials include epoxy resins, silicone elastomers, polyurethane formulations, and acrylics. Epoxy potting compounds are usually
Applications span electronics and electrical equipment, automotive sensors, power supplies, industrial controls, and military hardware. Potting
Advantages of using pottmassor include improved environmental protection, electrical isolation, tamper resistance, and component stabilization. Disadvantages
Safety and handling involve using appropriate personal protective equipment, adequate ventilation, and adherence to supplier guidelines.
