Cast-Coat Inc. CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12

Cast-Coat Inc. CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12 is a fire retardant version of CC3-301AD. It offers the same excellent heat transfer, high voltage insulation and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. As an encapsulant for power devices, it distributes heat evenly throughout the casting, providing greater efficiency and a longer working life. This compound has good wetting properties and low surface tension. It’s high fluidity and good air release recommend it for potting intricate circuitry. Glass diodes potted in CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12 have shown good resistance to cracking under severe temperature cycling. The filler used in CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12 may settle out during storage. It is very important to stir the material in it’s shipping container prior to use.

Room Temperature Cure
  • H-1 Hardener: Cures overnight at room temperature or 2 hrs at 65°C. Do not heat cure if the mass exceeds 200 grams.
  • H-18 Hardener: Cures overnight at room temperature or 2 hrs at 65°C. Do not heat cure if the mass exceeds 200 grams.
Mixing Instructions

Mix CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12 thoroughly in it’s shipping container to insure a uniform consistency. Weigh out the desired amount of resin in a clean container. Add the hardener accurately by weight in the proper proportion as specified above. (ie. 5.9 grams of H-1 Hardener and 100 grams of CC3-301AD-FR Flex-12 for a total mix of 105.9 grams) Mix thoroughly. Use in a well ventilated area and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
