IRS 3071 Polyurethane Potting Compound, Flame Retardant Encapsulating Compound





Description
IRS 3071 is a polyurethane potting compound. It is semi-rigid, room temperature curing, flame retardant and thermally conductive. Specifically designed for the cost effective encapsulation of a variety of low to medium voltage electrical and electronic applications, the system offers medium viscosity, flame retardant to UL94 V-0 at 6mm and 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.
