Elaplus Case Sharing of Waterproof Gel Box Potting: Application and Advantages of ELAPLUS SIGEL 1809

In modern electronic products, waterproofing, insulation, and stress relief are key to ensuring long-term stability and reliability. Especially in fields involving underwater applications, optical cable splice boxes, and waterproof junction boxes, selecting suitable potting materials is particularly important. To meet these needs, Elaplus SIGEL 1809, as a two-component self-healing silicone gel, has become the choice of waterproof gel box filling solution with its excellent performance and various advantages.Waterproof gel box filling. Background and ChallengesWith the advancement of technology, the application of electronic products in various harsh environments is becoming increasingly widespread. Especially in underwater equipment, communication infrastructure, and power equipment, the importance of waterproofing and insulation performance is self-evident. Taking fiber optic splice boxes as an example, these devices are usually installed outdoors or underground and need to withstand extreme environmental challenges such as high humidity, temperature differences, and physical stress. Its main function is to connect and protect optical cables or cables, preventing external pollutants such as moisture and dust from infiltrating, which imposes strict requirements on the selection of materials.For traditional potting materials, although they can provide certain waterproof and insulation effects, they often lack long-term stability and weather resistance, especially under extreme weather conditions, which can lead to aging, cracking, or performance degradation. For the application of optical cable splice boxes and other equipment, it is also necessary to consider requirements such as stress relief and high-voltage electrical insulation. How to find a material that can ensure good waterproof effect, high temperature electrical insulation and stress relief performance has become an urgent problem for technical personnel in this field.The unique advantages of Elaplus SIGEL 1809Elaplus SIGEL 1809 is a transparent two-component self-healing silicone gel, which forms a special soft material with buffer and automatic recovery after curing. Used to isolate moisture and other harmful pollutants from contacting…
