INSULCAST 125
LOW VISCOSITY EPOXY POTTING/CASTING COMPOUND

DESCRIPTION

INSULCAST 125 is a low viscosity, general purpose potting and casting compound. The low viscosity enables it to be used in potting densely packed modules, thereby insuring good flow and penetration around components. INSULCAST 125 contains non-abrasive fillers.

USE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Stir INSULCAST 125 thoroughly in its original container until uniform and any settled filler is completely reincorporated.
2. Weigh out required amount of INSULCAST 125 and weigh in 6-7 parts INSULCURE 9 per 100 parts of INSULCAST 125, or 9-10 parts INSULCURE 11B per 100 parts INSULCAST 125.
3. Mix thoroughly.
4. De-air (if necessary) at 29 in Hg. for 10 minutes.
5. Pour into mold, module or cavity.

CURE SCHEDULES:
INSULCURE 9: 16 TO 24 HOURS @250C.
INSULCURE 11B: 2 hours at 80°C plus 1 hr. at 150°C

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.

PLEASE REFER TO MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR FURTHER FIRST AID INFORMATION.
