ENHANCING ELECTRICAL INSULATION PROPERTIES FOR EPOXIES

Learn more about using insulative epoxies in your electronics applications

Epoxies are inherently excellent electrical insulators. Adhesives, sealants, coatings, potting, encapsulation and impregnating compounds are widely employed in electronic and electrical applications. Choosing the right epoxy not only depends on its dielectric properties, but also on a number of properties such as temperature resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks and cycles. These factors are greatly affected by the choice of the curing agent. Amine type curing agents are commonly used for bonding, sealing, coating and impregnation applications.
