The Tec-Fil™ 1800 Series is a family of two-part reactive filling compounds engineered for encapsulation, potting, ruggedizing, and protection of electronic and electrical assemblies. Available in multiple grades and cure profiles, the series provides reliable mechanical support, environmental protection, and long-term durability for demanding industrial applications. Other grades are available for metal jointing and construction/concrete repair.
The Tec-Fil™ 1800 Series consists of two-part reactive filling compounds developed for encapsulation, potting, ruggedizing, binding, sealing, and component protection across a broad range of electronic and electrical assemblies. Designed for both production and specialty applications, the series includes multiple grades with varying cure characteristics, hardness, viscosity, and processing properties to meet specific engineering requirements.
Applied as a two-component system, the material cures to form a durable, heat-stable protective mass that securely encapsulates components, fills voids, and improves resistance to vibration, moisture, chemicals, and mechanical stress. Select grades are formulated for demanding electrical applications, including transformer encapsulation and Class H thermal performance.
Available in standard clear/straw, amber, black, and custom colors, Tec-Fil™ 1800 Series compounds can also be formulated to meet specific performance requirements, including cure schedule, hardness, shrinkage, viscosity, and other application-specific properties.
