Operation process 

  • Mixing: Due to sedimentation of fillers in Component A over time, stir Component A thoroughly in its original container before use. Weigh Components A and B in a 100:20 weight ratio, mix uniformly, and proceed with potting.
  • Component B may crystallize or form lumps during storage (normal behavior). If crystallization occurs, melt it in an 80°C oven before use, then cool to room temperature. This does not affect its performance.
  • Component B reacts with moisture in the air, producing a white powdery residue (hydrolysis byproduct). Avoid introducing this residue during weighing.
  • Mixing may entrap air bubbles. Perform vacuum defoaming to enhance the electrical performance of the final product.
  • If Component A is too viscous, preheat it at 40°C before mixing with Component B (100:20 ratio).
  • Initial curing conditions: 25℃ for 24 hours or curing at 80℃ for 2 hours as designed after potting.
  • Customers can adjust the curing temperature and time according to the actual size and dimensions of the potting object. The smaller the size, the shorter the curing time.
  • For machine potting, consult our marketing department.
  • Heat Components A and B separately in tanks to reduce viscosity, improving flow and penetration during potting.
  • The amount of Component B in the curing agent—whether higher or lower than the normal ratio—will reduce the product’s hardness at elevated temperatures.
  • The greater the difference in the addition amount of component B of the curing agent, the greater the hardness change of the colloid and the worse its temperature resistance.
