EPP-918A Environmental Protectant Ruggedized Modular Connectors for Harsh Environments Stewart’s EPP-918A protectant improves product reliability by providing an unprecedented level of defense against harsh environmental conditions. In addition to providing superior moisture, humidity, and corrosion reistance, EPP-918A also shields against wear due to repetitive mating/unmating forces. By guarding contacts with our patented protective coating, EPP-918A prolongs the life of contacts within RJ11 and RJ45 jacks despite exposure to extreme environmental conditions. Once applied (during the manufacturing process), EPP918A will not migrate — it adheres to contacts instantly and remains intact without the need for additional tape, mechanical barriers, or cure time. This characteristic eliminates the added expense that other barrier methods often entail. EPP-918A environmental protectant can be used with virtually any Stewart connector product to increase durability and reliability.
