About Opti-tec 4220 Semi-opaque, Translucent Polyurethane Encapsulant for Electronics and LED Potting
Also available to buy online at
Opti-tec™ 4220 is a two-part, flexible, room temperature curing polyurethane resin, designed for potting, encapsulation and protection of LED arrays and other lighting products. Opti-tec 4220 cures to form a semi-opaque, milky, translucent material (opalescent) which still allows a high transmission of light. It provides aesthetically pleasing encapsulation, hiding underlying electronics and providing a diffuse light. The material is suitable for outdoor use, with excellent weathering properties; it is formulated with UV resistant materials and includes UV stabilisers.
