1. Product Overview

DOWSIL™ 3-4241 is a two-part, translucent green dielectric tough gel designed for electronic encapsulation. It offers fast heat cure, primerless adhesion, mechanical strength, and flame resistance (UL 94 V-1 rating). With a built-in UV indicator for automated inspection and long working time for processing flexibility, it provides enhanced durability and reliable insulation. When mixed, its two components (blue and yellow) turn green, ensuring correct blending and minimizing processing errors.


2. Applications

  • Encapsulation and protection of PCB assemblies.

  • Electrical insulation for high-voltage applications.

  • Stress relief against thermal and mechanical stresses.

  • Situations requiring added flame resistance.

  • Optoelectronic devices needing stable refractive index and stress-relieving properties.

  • Repairable encapsulation layers for PCB rework and maintenance.
