Epoxy Resin EGPE500GF Description EGPE500GF is a general purpose encapsulation compound. The flame retardant technology used is a clean type leading to relatively low toxicity fumes and low smoke emission. Features General purpose black epoxy resin Cost effective Max operating temperature 120C Flame retardant Technical Properties Typical Properties: Liquid Properties: Base Material Epoxy Density Part A Resin 1.82g/ml Density Part B Hardener 0.92g/ml Part A Viscosity 1,50,000mPa 23C Part B Viscosity 200mPa 23C Mixed System Viscosity 9,000mPa 23C Mix Ratio (Weight) 11:1 Mix Ratio (Volume) 5.36:1 Usable Life(23C) 60 mins Gel Time (23C) 150 mins Cure Time (23C) 24 hours Cure Time (60C) 2 hours Colour Part A Resin Black Colour Part B Hardener Straw Storage Conditions Dry Conditions: Above 15C, Below 30C Shelf Life 18 months Shrinkage Life < 1% Cured System: Thermal Conductivity 0.35W/mK Cured Density 1.68g/ml Temperature Range -140C to +120C Dielectric Strength 10kV/mm 14 Volume Resistivity 10 ohm-cm Shore Hardness D85 Colour (Mixed System) Black Flame Retardency Yes Tensile Strength 50MPa www.element14.com www.farnell.com www.newark.com www.cpc.co.uk Page <1> 24/01/13 V1.0Epoxy Resin EGPE500GF Mixing Procedures Rasin Packs: When in Resin pack form, the resin and hardener are mixed by removing the clip and moving the contents around inside the pack until thoroughly mixed. To remove the clip, remove both end caps, grip each end of the pack and pull apart gently. By using the removed clip, take special care to push unmixed material from the corners of the pack. Mixing normally takes from two to four minutes depending on the skill of the operator and the size of the pack. Both the resin and hardener are evacuated prior to packing so the system is ready for use immediately after mixing. The corner may be cut from the pack so that it may be used as a simple dispenser. Additional Information Curing Schedule Do not heat cure large volumes immediately. Allow these to gel at room temperature and post-cure at high temperature if required (refer to liquid properties for details). Small volumes (250ml) may be heat cured immediately. Storage When storing under very cold conditions, the hardener may crystallize. If this occurs, simply warm (40C) the container gently until all crystals have re-melted.
