I'm encapsulating a circuit that has 230V present and may from time to time be
completely submerged in water (including the wiring entering the encapsulant). I
understand that standard epoxy is good enough at keeping water/moisture out, but
I also understand that the hard part is sealing between the cables and
encapsulant. Looking through the Google news archives I came across one post
that mentioned the use of "special irradiated PTFE wires" as the epoxy
_chemically_ bonds to this, whereas it doesn't to PVC cable. Not sure what the
"special irradiated" bit is. Can't get in touch with the original poster. Anyone
any other suggestions as to how to seal cables properly?
Cheers
