In July 2026, TENSAN released a technical guide on encapsulation compound selection, systematically analyzing the performance differences and selection logic of three major systems—silicone, epoxy, and polyurethane—along with specialty compounds, aiming to help engineers in electronics, new energy, and automotive industries make scientific material choices and drive the evolution of packaging materials toward functional and intelligent solutions.
Silicone potting compounds provide flexible, durable protection for electronic assemblies. TENSAN offers a comprehensive range of formulations, but choosing the right one requires evaluating your specific application needs.
The market offers a wide variety of one-component adhesives, primarily including silicone, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, and nitrile rubber. Among these, silicone and epoxy products are the most widely used. Different application environments, production processes, and bonding substrates vary significantly, resulting in different suitable adhesive models. This article, based on TENSAN's product application experience, provides a detailed analysis of the core performance differences between one-component silicone and epoxy adhesives, offering industry users precise and practical adhesive selection solutions.
Many users mistakenly believe that the more sealant used, the better the bonding effect and strength. Therefore, they intentionally overmix the sealant, attempting to improve bonding performance by increasing the amount. However, this approach is incorrect and can cause various problems during actual construction.
During the use of silicone sealant, problems such as detachment, breakage, and incomplete curing often occur. These are mostly due to improper operation or failure to adapt to suitable usage conditions, directly affecting the curing effect and overall performance. The following details the standard application methods and limitations.
Potting compounds are indispensable bonding and protective materials in the manufacturing of electronics, electrical appliances, and industrial control equipment. Available in a wide variety of formulations suited to different operating conditions, they serve as critical materials for internal equipment protection.
