Fasto SP210 – LED Grade Driver Potting Compound

Q: Why is potting required in solar junction boxes?

Potting creates a protective barrier around electrical components inside the junction box, preventing moisture ingress, corrosion, electrical leakage, and mechanical damage while improving long-term reliability.

Q: What is Fasto SP70 used for?

Fasto SP70 is a two-component silicone potting compound specially designed for potting solar PV junction boxes. It protects electrical connections from moisture, dust, UV radiation, thermal cycling, and environmental exposure.

Q: How can I select the right potting compound for my solar application?

The ideal potting compound should provide UV resistance, electrical insulation, moisture protection, thermal stability, and long-term outdoor durability. Fasto SP70 is specifically engineered to meet these requirements for solar junction box applications.

Q: What industries commonly use Fasto SP70?

Fasto SP70 is primarily used in: Solar PV module manufacturing Renewable energy equipment Electrical and electronic assemblies Outdoor power systems

Q: 8. What are the key benefits of using Fasto SP70?

Key benefits include: Excellent weather resistance Superior UV stability Strong moisture protection Electrical insulation Long-term outdoor durability Reliable performance in harsh environments Protection against vibration and mechanical stress

Fasto SP210 is a two-part, high-performance, silicone-based potting compound designed for applications where strong mechanical protection, electrical insulation, and thermal stability are required. Its non-corrosive, non-shrinking, and fast-curing formulation ensures reliable encapsulation of electronic components exposed to harsh environments.

Fasto SP210 delivers a unique balance of rigidity and flexibility, making it suitable for assemblies where potting must remain stable and durable over time while resisting vibration and thermal stress.

Surface Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, grease, rust, and contaminants.
Clean substrates using a suitable Fasto cleaner if required.

Mixing Instructions

Mix Part A and Part B in a 1:1 ratio.
Stir thoroughly until a uniform, homogeneous colour is achieved.

Application Method

Pour Fasto SP210 evenly into the potting cavity.
Apply the compound in the required quantity only.
For deep potting or thicker sections, vacuum deaeration is recommended to avoid air entrapment.
Complete any tooling before skin-over time.
Remove excess material if required.
