EPUSIL EP - 147

Very high thermal conductivity epoxy compound

 

DESCRIPTION

Epusil EP-147 IS an epoxy casting system giving extremely high thermal conductivity. Several hardeners can be used to cure EPUSIL EP 147. However, where thermal conductivity is critical, the hardeners with low ratios should be used to prevent deterioration and retention of properties.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1.        Pre-heat Epusil EP-147 to 500C to 600C to enhance flow and air release.

2.        Stir contests thoroughly until all filler is dispersed.

3.        Measure out required amount of Epusil EP-147. Weigh into it 4 parts of Epcure 9 per 100 parts Epusil EP-147, or 4.5-5.5 parts Epcure 11 per 100 parts Epusil EP-147.

4.      Mix thoroughly being sure to scrape sides and bottom of mixing container.

5.      Where void- free castings or coatings are required, de-gas for 2-5 minutes at 1/2 to

1cm.Hg.

6.      Pour into mold or device.

CURE SCHEDULE

Epcure 9 - Room Temperature cure (12-16 hours). Hard, rigid system results

Epcure 11- Gel condition

Fast cure - 1200C for 1 hour.

Small mass - 800C for 2-3 hours. and then 1200C for 2 hours 

Large mass (greater than 5 lbs.)- 550C for 5-6 hours and then 1200C for 2 hours

Post cure - 1500C to 1800C for 4 hours (necessary for service temperature above 1500C)
