TM Scotch-Weld Epoxy Potting Compound/Adhesive DP270 Clear and Black Technical Data March 2019 TM TM Product Description 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Potting Compound/Adhesive DP270 (or 3M Scotch- Weld Epoxy Potting Compound/Adhesive 270 B/A) is a two-part, low viscosity epoxy resin system designed primarily for potting, sealing, and encapsulation of many electronic components and is available in clear or black. 3M Scotch-Weld epoxy potting compound/adhesive DP270 is noncorrosive to copper and offers good thermal shock resistance and excellent retention of electrical insulation properties under high humidity conditions. 3M Scotch-Weld epoxy potting compound/adhesive DP270 has a work life of approximately 70 minutes, a tack-free time of about 3 hours and is fully cured after 48 hours at 73F (23C). This product produces no exotherm in 5-10 gram masses and a very slight exotherm in larger masses. 3M Scotch-Weld epoxy potting compound/adhesive DP270 is ideal for the potting and encapsulation of many heat sensitive or delicate components such as glass diodes and sensors as well as for transformers, coils, chokes, relays, etc. It is available in the convenient 3M EPX Applicator System for multi-station usage and in bulk containers for larger volume applications. Available in bulk containers as Scotch-Weld epoxy potting compound/adhesive 270 B/A.
