To offer added protection and stability for a wide range of electronics applications, Henkel has developed and made commercially available Loctite� 5210�, a new fast cure thixotropic silicone material ideal for devices that find end-use within harsh environments. With improved production throughput, operating temperature flexibility and easy storage, Loctite 5210 offers manufacturers a cost-effective alternative to traditional hot-melt glues or less aesthetically pleasing silicones.

3145 is methoxy cure, so the cure by product is methanol.

If you apply the RTV after coating, what happens to bond strength since you are now bonding to the coating and not the board? Will the caps still survive vibration and shock? I specify applying RTV before coating for this reason. Am I correct? I als

All, Can anyone point me in the right direction for (sources of info) various ways to quickly cure RTV or atleast speed up the process. Our requirements are to use Dow Corning 3145 hi-temp RTV. I have tried contacting the manufacturer but am losing

I have used Loctite, RTV3145, or Tak-Pak to secure the wire. As John said, the wire is usually secured to the board near the lifted lead, and usually at 1/4 inch intervals along the way. Brian W.

Comments are: * General purpose RTV (RTV-108) releases an acetic acid (vinegar) during cure and corrodes copper, brass and sensitive metals. It is therefore NOT for use in delicate electrical or electronic applications. However, there is an electrica

Is it acceptable to apply an acrylic conformal coat, cure and then apply a silicone RTV on top (for staking tall components)? Should there be a concern with the bond between the acrylic and the RTV?

Hey that was me way back! Anyways, use Dow 3140 (self leveling) or Dow 3145 (peanut butter consistency) and call it a day. No out gassing/acidic properties. 3140 also contains a UV tracer for black light inspection. Any tall caps should be epoxied if
