CONATHANE EN-21

Main features

  • Low-viscosity
  • Room-temperature cure
  • Good electrical and thermal properties

Product Description

CONATHANE® EN-21 Polyurethane Encapsulant is a two-component, unfilled, low-viscosity polyurethane potting compound for electronic circuits, components, and power devices. The system supports hand-mix, meter-mix, and vacuum potting or casting processes and may cure at room temperature or with low-temperature heat. Documented applications include transformers, coils, reed and mercury switches, inductors, ignition systems, voltage regulators, ballasts, microcircuits, rectifiers, and printed circuit assemblies. Typical cured properties include Shore A 80 hardness, 155% elongation, 0.3 W/m·K thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, and thermal-shock performance.

Key features

  • Low-viscosity processing: Typical initial mixed viscosity is 2,000 cP at 25°C.
  • Room-temperature or heat cure: Recommended cure options are seven days at 25°C or four hours at 80°C.
  • Electrical and thermal properties: Typical data include 650 V/mil dielectric strength and 0.3 W/m·K thermal conductivity.

Applications / Suitable for

  • Transformers, coils, switches, and inductors
  • Voltage regulators, ballasts, and rectifiers
  • Microcircuits and printed circuit assemblies

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
