Many down hole tools are exposed to moisture and humidity in the Many down hole tools are exposed to moisture and humidity in the field and during service. This moisture turns into a pressurized field and during service. This moisture turns into a pressurized steam when exposed to high temperatures down hole. Steam steam when exposed to high temperatures down hole. Steam destroys critical epoxy over time and can result in failures. To destroys critical epoxy over time and can result in failures. To combat this type of failure, Min-e-con has added the option to place combat this type of failure, Min-e-con has added the option to place additional hydrophobic seals in between the epoxy and the additional hydrophobic seals in between the epoxy and the insulator. This additional sealing prevents moisture and steam from insulator. This additional sealing prevents moisture and steam from penetrating to a point where shorting or electrical leakage can penetrating to a point where shorting or electrical leakage can occur.occur.
