This case highlights how HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound from Shenzhen Hanast New Materials Co., Ltd. protects solar power electronics in the Middle East, one of the world's fastest-growing photovoltaic markets. From utility-scale plants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to distributed rooftop systems across the region, inverter and junction box manufacturers face extreme desert conditions. HN-8806A/B delivers the heat resistance, thermal management and electrical insulation that solar equipment needs to deliver decades of reliable output under the sun.
The customer is a photovoltaic equipment manufacturer supplying solar inverters, combiner boxes and junction boxes to utility and commercial projects across the Middle East and North Africa. Installations operate in some of the harshest environments on earth:
Conventional potting resins became brittle under severe thermal cycling, while slow-curing materials created production bottlenecks. The manufacturer needed an encapsulant that would protect power semiconductors and PCBs from heat, dust and humidity, dissipate heat from high-current traces, and cure quickly enough for mass production - all without compromising flame-retardant certification.
HN-8806A/B is an addition-cure, two-component silicone potting compound that cures at room temperature or with heat into a high-performance elastomer. It releases no heat or by-products during cure and causes no corrosion to sealed components, making it ideal for sensitive solar electronics. Technical highlights applied in this project:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mix ratio (A:B by weight) | 1:1 |
| Pot life at 25°C | 18-24 minutes |
| Room-temperature cure | 2-3 hours at 25°C |
| Heat-accelerated cure | 12 minutes at 80°C |
| Cured hardness | 45 ± 5 Shore A (grey elastomer) |
| Thermal conductivity | ≥ 0.76 W/m·K |
| Volume resistivity | 1.0 * 10¹&sup6 Ω·cm |
| Dielectric strength | 25-30 kV/mm |
| Operating temperature range | -50°C to +250°C |
| Flame retardancy | UL 94 V-0; RoHS compliant |
| Cure shrinkage | Extremely low; supports deep-section curing |
HN-8806A/B ships in 25 kg plastic barrels per component (50 kg/set), classified as non-dangerous goods for efficient delivery to Middle East project sites. Store at 5-25°C in sealed original containers; shelf life is 6 months from manufacture.
Solar equipment in the Middle East demands encapsulation that survives extreme heat, UV and thermal cycling. HN-8806A/B silicone potting compound provides the thermal conductivity, insulation and mechanical resilience that keep inverters and junction boxes operating for decades.
