CC3-300
TABULAR ALUMINA FILLED CASTING RESIN

CC3-300 is a high viscosity, alumina filled casting resin offering high thermal conductivity, high heat distortion, excellent electrical insulation, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and extremely low shrinkage during cure. It will withstand the most rugged tests of temperature, chemical attack, and voltage shock, and is easier to fabricate than metals or ceramics at lower cost. Supplied as a pourable resin, it cures to a rigid, opaque plastic at room temperature or with heat. The thermal expansion coefficient is closely matched to aluminum. CC3-300 has excellent adhesion to a wide variety of materials, i.e., metal, plastic, glass, and ceramic. To reduce viscosity, warm the resin between 100-150'F prior to adding the hardener.

SUGGESTED APPLICATIONS

Large Castings:

 

CC3-300 is ideal for pouring large castings such as capacitor bushings, transformers,
or any unit where heat dissipation is important. Low shrinkage and low exotherm are
two of the reasons why a two hundred pound casting can be made in a single pour.

Small Castings:

 

 Even the intricate circuitry of a power supply can be encapsulated, void free, with
CC3-300, if both the amplifier and the resin are preheated to 150'F prior to filling.
We recommend evacuating the catalyzed resin before and after filling the unit.

CHOICE OF HARDENERS

H-1 HARDENER - rigid, good dimensional stability, fast cure.
H-7 HARDENER - resilient, excellent mechanical and thermal shock, low viscosity, good air release, fast cure.
H-34 HARDENER - resilient, excellent mechanical and thermal shock, plus high heat distortion, long pot life.
H-lOLV HARDENER - variable hardness, excellent impact properties, long pot life.

ROOM TEMPERATURE CURE

H-1 HARDENER -

 Cures overnight at room temperature or 2 hours at 65'C. Do not heat cure if the
mass exceeds 200 grams.
H-7 HARDENER -

 Cures overnight at room temperature or 2 hours at 65'C. Do not heat cure if the
mass exceeds 200 grams.
H-10LV HARDENER - Cures overnight at room temperature or 3 hours at 65'C.

HEAT CURE

H-34 HARDENER

 -


 Cures over night at 65'C or 4 hours at 125'C. For the best physical and electrical
properties, a slow cure for 16 hours at 65'C followed by a post cure for 4 hours
at 125'C is recommended.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Mix CC3-300 thoroughly in its shipping container to insure a uniform consistency. Weigh out the required amount of resin in a clean container. Add the hardener accurately by weight in the proper proportion as specified above. Mix thoroughly.

Use in a well ventilated area and avoid contact with eyes and skin.
