encapsulant

Chip-covering resin material

An encapsulant is a material used to enclose, coat, or seal electronic components, circuits, or other sensitive items to protect them from environmental damage such as moisture, dust, chemicals, or mechanical stress.

Common encapsulants include epoxies, silicones, and urethanes, chosen based on the protection requirements and operating conditions.

The solar panel manufacturer used a UV-resistant encapsulant to protect the cells.
