Applications & Uses

Product Applications and Usage

EC-1106 is used predominantly to pot or encapsulate, optical devices, light emitting diodes (LED), and other light emitters or sensors that require maximum light transmissions. As well, it is often used to allow easy visual inspection of components in potted electronic assemblies. The cured epoxy improves reliability, operational range, and lengthens the life of electrical and electronic parts. Its primary applications are in the automobile; marine; aerospace and aviation; communication, instrumentation; medical equipment and devices; and industrial control equipment industries.

It provides very strong electrical insulation and protects against static discharges, shocks, vibrations, mechanical impacts, environmental humidity, salt water, and many harsh chemicals.

Instruction for Use
  • Mix 100 grams Resin to 100 grams of Hardener and mix it well preferably using a mechanical mixer.
  • Vacuum degasses for five minutes to remove dissolved and entrapped air.
  • Proceed with the casting or potting application and cure as recommended.
Industrial Usage

Practices of good housekeeping, safety and cleanliness should be followed before, during and after use.
