What Is Dowsil Sylgard 182?
Dowsil Sylgard 182 — also known as Dow Corning Sylgard 182 — is a transparent, long pot life, two-part, 10:1 mix, heat-cure silicone elastomer. It is supplied as two-part liquid component kits comprised of a base and curing agent, mixed at a 10:1 ratio by weight or volume.
Sylgard 182 is similar to Sylgard 184 but offers a longer working time, giving operators more flexibility during mixing, dispensing, and deep-section pours — a useful characteristic for electronics manufacturers and MRO facilities across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
Rated Durometer Shore A 51 with a dielectric strength of 19 kV/mm, Sylgard 182 provides a working time (pot life) of around 8 hours at 25°C, curing fully in 336 hours (14 days) at room temperature, or as fast as 20 minutes when heat cured at 150°C. Maisam Trading LLC is the authorised Dowsil supplier in Dubai, with stock available for prompt delivery across the entire GCC region.
Description
Dow silicone encapsulants such as Sylgard 182 are supplied as two-part liquid component kits, available from Maisam Trading LLC Dubai in a 1.1kg kit. When the base and curing agent are thoroughly mixed, the mixture cures without exotherm to a flexible, transparent elastomer suited to the protection of electrical and PCB system assemblies.
Sylgard 182 cures with no solvents or cure byproducts, supports deep-section cure, and is repairable — sections of adhered elastomer can be selectively removed and the repaired area re-potted with additional product. Its transparency allows easy inspection of boards and parts after encapsulation.
As a trusted Dowsil Sylgard 182 supplier in Dubai and across the GCC, Maisam Trading LLC provides prompt delivery and B2B supply to electronics manufacturing and industrial customers across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
