Technical Data Sheet
Black Flame Retardant Epoxy, Encapsulating & Potting Compound
Description
834FRB
potting and encapsulating compound
is a black, flame retardant, low viscosity two-part epoxy that
offers extreme environmental, mechanical and physical protection for printed circuit boards and electronic
assemblies.
This product is designed for applications where mechanical strength and self-extinguishing are required.
Due to its low mixed viscosity, it can easily penetrate small gaps and cavities. It also provides excellent
electrical insulation and protects components from static discharges, vibration, abrasion, thermal shock,
environmental humidity, salt water, fungus, and many harsh chemicals.
This epoxy has a convenient 2:1 volume mix ratio, making it compatible with most dispensing equipment.
834FRB can be cured at room temperature or higher.
