Description
The DOWSIL 3140 RTV Silicone Conformal Coating is a high-performance, one-component, moisture-curing silicone designed to protect sensitive electronic assemblies from moisture, corrosion, and contaminants. Developed by Dow, this solvent-free coating provides a clear, flexible barrier that maintains dielectric strength and long-term reliability in harsh environments.
Engineered for high-reliability electronics, aerospace, and industrial applications, DOWSIL 3140 cures at room temperature to a resilient rubber film. Its low-stress, non-corrosive formulation makes it suitable for delicate substrates such as PCBs, connectors, and sensors, while its MIL-A-46146 and UL 94 V-1 certifications ensure compliance with rigorous industry standards.
Key Features
• One-Component RTV Silicone: Ready-to-use coating with no mixing required.
• Transparent, Solvent-Free Formula: Provides residue-free coverage without shrinkage or outgassing.
• Exceptional Dielectric Properties: Maintains insulation integrity under high humidity or voltage stress.
• High Elongation & Flexibility: Protects delicate solder joints and components during thermal cycling.
• Meets MIL-A-46146 & UL 94 V-1: Compliant with military and UL safety standards.
