It is ideal for small to moderate size encapsulating, potting and casting applications. It is also effective in bonding fragile components requiring a low coefficient of thermal expansion. EP42HT-3AO is designed to optimize heat dissipation properties, improve the quality and reliability of electronic devices subjected to thermo-mechanical stresses. This compound combines a low CTE of 13-16x 10-6 in/in/°C with a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 140-150°C. It has a thermal conductivity of 11-12 BTU•in/ft²•hr•°F [1.59-1.73 W/(m•K)]. It also exhibits low shrinkage upon curing, dimensional stability, and excellent structural strength. EP42HT-3AO is a reliable electrical insulator with a volume resistivity of >1014 ohm-cm. This system is serviceable from -100°F to +400°F. This 100% reactive epoxy formulation has a non-critical 100 to 40 mix ratio by weight and a working life of 60-90 minutes after mixing for a 100 gram batch at 75°F. It has a recommended cure schedule of overnight at room temperature, followed by 2-3 hours at 150-200°F. EP42HT-3AO is available for use in ounce, ½ pint, pint, quart and gallon kit containers. Specialty packaging options in the form of pre-mixed and frozen syringes are also available. The specialty packaging allows for automated dispensing. The color of Part A is white and Part B is off-white.
