Loctite Potting Material
Loctite Potting Material
(OP)
I am having a great deal of trouble with the Loctite Encap potting material. I have been touble shooting for months and am getting little support from our area rep. I am wondering if anyone else is having trouble with inconsistent curing of the Encap material? I purchase the material in quart size cans and mix it by hand. I thouroghly mix the product and pot ten sensor housings. I will have six good, four bad, and the material in the cup is good. When I say good I mean the material has cured properly and is not slimy. Thanks

The other possibility is that something in the unit that is being potted is not compatiable with the epoxy. The literature for the epoxy (Endcap) should give a list of these materials.
You are probably not vacuuming this unit. Putting a good vacuum on epoxy before it hardens will pull the hardner out of the epoxy.
