1. Product Overview

SYLGARD™ 170 Fast Cure is a two-part, black silicone elastomer with a 1:1 mix ratio, designed for faster curing at room temperature. It offers low viscosity, good flowability for filling narrow or complex geometries, and moderate thermal conductivity. The elastomer provides flame resistance, UL 94 V-0 rating, and versatile cure processing controlled by temperature. It cures without exotherm, requires no post-cure, and enables rapid cycle times, making it ideal for general-purpose electrical and electronic encapsulation.


2. Applications

  • General potting material for electrical/electronic assemblies

  • Power supplies and transformers

  • Connectors and sensors

  • Industrial controls and relays

  • Amplifiers

  • High voltage resistor packs
