Situation:
A lighting manufacturer making new high intensity LED products for emergency vehicles, was searching for a potting product to ensure weather-proof performance.
Challenges:
Previously used UV potting product led to high cost of scrapped lights that were rejected in quality testing because:
- Did not offer sufficient depth of cure that led to quality failures
- Uncured product easily vaporized during testing and condensed on the lens
Solutions:
Basis the need for a deep section potting product that seals the light fixture and does not cloud the lens, the Henkel solutions expert recommended LOCTITE E-30CL epoxy adhesive. Loctite E-30 CL is dispensed through a dual cartridge dispenser around the wire to seal the wire to the heat sink base of the LED light.
When tested it was found that LOCTITE E-30CL met all sealing specifications.
Results:
Potting with LOCTITE E-30CL:
- Ensured a completely weather-proof LED moduleEliminated clouding of lens during quality testing
- Reduced in overall manufacturing costs by eliminating testing failures
