Potentiometers and silicone sealant
Potentiometers and silicone sealant
(OP)
I am using a potentiometer in a an application and I have been told that using Silicone sealant near it could give off fumes that effect the resistance and give false readings.
I have looked at the data sheet and the fumes given off is Acetoxysilane (acetic acid).
Can anyone help regarding this.

RE: Potentiometers and silicone sealant
There will be problems if RTV is applied to a metal surface and closed in a housing or enclosure uncured. The acid will corrode or disolve any metal it has been applied to.
Cure time will vary with how much is applied to specific area. A dab about the size of a pencil eraser will take approx. 2-3 hrs @ +65 degrees C in a circulating chamber.
