- Cures to a soft, low-stress elastomer
- Wide operating temperature range (-45°C to 200°C)
Product Description
DOWSIL™ 1-4105 Conformal Coating is a one-part, transparent silicone conformal coating designed to provide reliable mechanical and environmental protection for printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. This solventless, heat-curable material features a low viscosity formulation that enables excellent flow and coverage across densely populated boards and tight geometries. Upon curing, it forms a soft, low-stress elastomer that protects sensitive components from mechanical and thermal stress while maintaining long-term reliability.
DOWSIL 1-4105 supports rapid and controlled heat cure processing at relatively low temperatures and offers a long working life at room temperature. The coating includes a UV indicator for automated inspection and quality control, ensuring consistent application in high-volume manufacturing. It is compatible with no-clean and lead-free soldering processes and provides strong adhesion to a wide range of PCB substrates.
