PV Junction Box Potting Agents

Ensure long-term reliability.

Increase reliability and protection of solar modules

Look to Dow Corning® brand potting agents for a unique combination of reliable performance and durability for photovoltaic junction box applications.

Potting agents from Dow Corning improve the durability of PV modules even under the demanding outdoor exposures typical of photovoltaic applications. Pottants provide long-lasting protection to withstand the elements. Dow Corning pottants provide:
	Fire resistance
	Excellent electrical insulation of components
	Stability and flexibility over a wide temperature range

A range of globally available product options enhances manufacturing options:
	Room-temperature or heat-cure mechanisms
	Translucent or opaque product formulations
	Automated dispensing widely available

Effective thermal management solutions

Thermal management challenges can now be overcome even using smaller junction box designs. High thermally conductive index pottants from Dow Corning provide temperature management for effective diode protection. Less material for box construction and reduced pottant requirements mean lower total costs for you.
