LORD Thermoset thermally conductive silicone encapsulant materials are designed to provide excellent thermal conductivity and
flexibility for electronic encapsulating applications in the harshest downhole environments, while retaining desirable properties
associated with silicones. Thermoset thermally conductive silicones enable electronic components to stay downhole longer and to
withstand higher shock loads. LORD materials are durable. They will not depolymerize when heated in confined spaces. With the
capability of being applied as either a traditional liquid potting or a preformed casing, it is adaptable to many applications.
LORD Thermoset EL-636 epoxy encapsulant material has been specifically designed for use in high temperature applications of
electric motor stator assemblies. Thermoset EL-636 encapsulant can withstand the harsh downhole environments and keep the inner
workings of the pump safe and secure.
