CONAP® EPOXY POTTING SYSTEMS THAT EXTEND LIFE CYCLE OF DEVICES IN ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC DESIGNS INTRODUCED BY CYTEC INDUSTRIES.

CONAPOXY® FR-1800 Series is Recognized to UL94V-O, is RoHS Compliant and has Best in Class Elongation and Mixed Viscosity

West Paterson, NJ – June 9, 2008 – Cytec Industries Inc. introduces the CONAP CONAPOXY® FR-1800 series of epoxy potting systems that is recognized to UL 94V-O, is RoHS compliant, and has excellent processing properties. Consisting of the CONAPOXY® FR-1810, CONAPOXY® FR-1820, and CONAPOXY® FR-1830, the epoxy potting compounds extend the life cycle of electronic and electrical devices, such as coils, controls, sensors, and transformers.

All three products provide an ambient cure and have excellent storage stability. Each is formulated with a non-abrasive filler to reduce wear on machine metering/dispensing equipment. The result is a family of potting systems designed for casting electronic components used in electronic and electrical designs.

CONAPOXY FR-1810 is an 80 Shore D flexible two-component, low exotherm, flame retardant, long-life epoxy potting and casting system with excellent handling properties. Its best-in-class elongation of 22% makes it well suited for protecting electronic modules, components, and electrical devices from thermal shock. CONAPOXY FR-1810 has a mixed viscosity of 8,000 cps at 25° C.

A fast gellation epoxy, CONAPOXY FR-1820 is for designs requiring fast line speed potting of electronic modules, components, and electrical devices. It has a gel time of 16-30 minutes and a mixed viscosity of 6,900 cps at 25° C.

The CONAPOXY FR-1830’s mixed viscosity of 2,100 cps at 25° C gives it the lowest viscosity of any UL94 V-O potting system on the market. It has excellent release of entrapped air characteristics. Products manufactured using CONAPOXY FR-1830 can be shipped into the EU, however shipment is restricted into the European Union of uncured part A and part B.

The CONAPOXY 1800 series is part of Cytec’s next-generation electronic and electrical potting product line. Cytec has combined its 50 years’ experience of developing high-performance polyurethanes and epoxies with its extensive library of formulations to develop a series of products designed to meet the demanding high performance requirements of the electrical and electronic industries.
