INSULCAST 783
ONE COMPONENT, FLEXIBLE, HEAT CURE EPOXY SYSTEM

DESCRIPTION

INSULCAST 783 is a thixotropic, one-component, flame retardant, flexible heat cure epoxy system designed for dipping/coating applications.

*NOTE: Due to the high thixotropic index of INSULCAST 783, the material is formulated in special mixing equipment thus eliminating air. Do not mix INSULCAST 783 with high speed mixers as it will be impossible to remove the air incorporated during mixing.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat coil, transformer or unit for 1-2 hours @120°-135°C. Allow to cool to approximately 50°C.
2. Any surfaces, such as terminal leads or mounting brackets, where bonding is impractical should be coated with a suitable epoxy release agent.
3. Pour INSULCAST 783 into a vessel or tank. Dip unit to be encapsulated. Remove unit from epoxy and allow unit to drain for approximately 1/2 hour prior to curing.

NOTE: INSULCAST 783 can be used as a brush coating when dipping is not practical.

CURE SCHEDULES:
Dipped Units:
6 - 8 hours @95°C - lowest shrinkage
3 - 5 hours @105°C
2-3 hours @120°C plus Post Cure 1-2 hours @ 150°C - 115°C

Post cure 2 hours @150°C for optimum high temperature properties.

Cast Units:
8 - 10 hours @95°C - lowest shrinkage
Plus Post Cure 1-2 hours @ 150°C - 115°C

STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
One component epoxies are pre-catalyzed and have a limited shelf-life. Storage at elevated temperatures will result in a shortened shelf-life and premature gelation. Store material in a cool place.

HEALTH CAUTION:
Avoid breathing possible fumes, mists and vapors which can cause severe respiratory damage. Use of NIOSH approved breathing apparatus is required for more than minimal exposure. Always work in areas with adequate ventilation to allow dissipation of polyamine and other chemical fumes, and where applicable, solvent fumes. Use of goggles, protective garments, rubber gloves, protective cream is required. If material gets into eyes, flush thoroughly with clear water for twenty (20) minutes; then seek medical treatment. Avoid skin contact. Material can cause contact dermatitis. Always wash exposed areas immediately, using warm water and soap, followed by rinsing with clean water. Observe all safety precautions. It is important when using solvent based materials or solvents to keep away from open flame or ignition source.
