Henkel has introduced three new potting compounds to protect automotive components from moisture and fluid ingress.

Loctite SI 5035 is a one-part silicone potting compound that provides corrosion-free protection to sensitive components, such as control unit connectors. This flowable sealant has two curing mechanisms. It cures quickly when exposed to visible or ultraviolet light. A secondary, moisture-curing mechanism ensures curing of the adhesive in shadowed areas. SI 5035 forms a medium strength, flexible rubber sealant that can withstand high pressure testing immediately after UV curing.
