ULTIMEG 2004 TWO-PART EPOXY TRICKLE RESIN

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Ultimeg 2004 is part of a range of epoxide resins for the electrical industry that have a high
thermal ratings combined with excellent thermal shock resistance. 2004 is a Class H rated
two-component epoxide trickle resin that features good bond strength at elevated temperature
together with excellent thermal shock and electrical properties. The system is easy to process
and gives good cured films even under adverse curing conditions. The product has good
resistance to atmospheric moisture and chemical attack.

APPLICATION
For trickle impregnating of motor armature and stators together with the encapsulation,
sealing and potting of small electronic and electrical components.
For non-rotational and rotational or trickle impregnating of motor armature and stators, the
components to be treated is normally processed at a temperature of 60-80C although this
temperature can be varied according to component size.
2004 Mixture is slowly poured on to the heated component, and gelation takes place whilst
impregnation is in progress.

WORKSHOP PRACTICE

Most problems occur with 2 part systems due to the failure to mix correctly. The following
procedure is recommended: -

The base and hardener can be measure out by weight, volume or by using all of the pre-
weighed kit, but is should be noted the usable life of the mixture decreases as the weight of
the mix increases. Ensure the base and hardener are mixed thoroughly using the minimal air
inclusion method described previously. This mixing process can take up to 4-5 minutes, and
it is recommended that, if the usable life allows, extra time is spent mixing at this stage where
failure to mix is most frequent.

CURE SCHEDULE
24 hours @ 25C ,6 hours @ 50C or 2 hours @ 120C
In order to develop maximum properties ambient is recommended that the U2004 be allowed
to cure till solid at ambient. Heat can then be applied to develop maximum hardness.
