IRS 3071
About IRS 3071 Polyurethane Potting Compound
IRS 3071 is a semi-rigid, room temperature curing, flame retardant and thermally conductive polyurethane potting compound. Specifically designed for the cost effective encapsulation of a variety of low to medium voltage electrical and electronic applications, the material is medium viscosity, flame retardant to UL94 V-0 at 6mm and has excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates. IRS 3071 is resistant to UV, water based cleaning chemicals, motor oil, lubricants and most dilute acids and alkalis.

Ordering Information
IRS 3071 is available in twinpacks or in bulk.
The twinpack sachet is a clear film sachet, with the resin and hardener separated by a removable clip and rail divider. Click here for twinpack mixing instructions.
In kit form, resin and hardener are provided in separate containers to the correct ratio. In most cases pour the hardener into the larger resin container and use it as a mixing vessel. Stir well using appropriate mixer until homogeneous.
Part number | Description |
---|---|
IRS3071-1KG | Polyurethane potting compound – 1000 gram twinpack |
IRS3071-5KG | Bulk kit – 5kg |
IRS3071-25KG | Bulk kit – 25kg |
