Self bonding silicone gel

9 June 2011 electronics

ACC EGel 3003 is a transluscent, soft, adherent, silicone elastomeric gel designed for the encapsulation and protection of electronic components. It features chemical adhesion. All silicone gels have mechanical adhesion (tack) but do not automatically form a chemical bond with the substrate. This new heat cured gel forms a stong chemical bond which will prevent moisture ingress. Electronic [...]
