Opti-tec 4220 Semi-opaque, Translucent Polyurethane Encapsulant for Electronics and LED Potting

From £15.00 (£18.00 inc. VAT)

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.

An evaluation kit is available which includes one 50g cartridge, supplied with a dispensing gun and mixing nozzles.

  • Cures to form milky, opalescent plastic
  • Conceals electronics whilst giving high light transmission
  • Can be used outdoors – excellent long term UV stability and weather resistance
  • Scratch and mark resistant
  • Low viscosity – easy to mix and process
  • High mechanical strength
  • Non-toxic
