About Opti-tec 4210 Optically Clear, Hard Polyurethane Encapsulant and Potting Compound

Opti-tec 4210 is a two-part, high hardness, room temperature curing polyurethane resin designed for the potting and encapsulation of electronic devices requiring very high clarity. Opti-tec 4210 has excellent outdoor weathering properties, due to the incorporation of both UV resistant base materials and the addition of UV stabilisers and antioxidants. Opti-tec 4210 is a harder version of Opti-tec 4200.

Other Information

See how Opti-tec 4210 works as part of a real application in this Potting Compound Case Study:

Potting a pressure-resistant device for deep sea fishing

Utilising a combination of optically clear Opti-tec 4210 and opaque IRS 3071 into their product, SNTech was able to protect their innovative ‘Pieces Deep’ fishing lights from 100 bar pressures at depths of 1000m, without sacrificing light performance.
