Product Description
P-4 is a low viscosity transparent silicone rubber which can be used for potting or encapsulation of intricate parts where visual inspection is required. P-4 offers electrical stability, radiation resistance, and will resist reversion when heated in confined spaces. Although it has a 700 psi tensile strength, it can be easily cut and removed for part repair and then repoured. P-4 also has very low shrinkage and water absorption. When used with GI-Primer, it can also be used as an adhesive for solar cells.
