EPOXYLITE E6001
Harmonization Code : 3910.00.00.90 | Silicones in Primary Forms; Others
Main features
- Low-Viscosity Winding Impregnation
- Fast 30-Minute Heat Cure
- Hermetic Compressor Insulation
Product Description
EPOXYLITE E6001 Hermetic Epoxy Impregnating Resin is a solvent-borne epoxy insulating varnish for dip-and-bake impregnation of motor windings used in hermetic compressors and refrigeration equipment. The clear amber liquid has 36 to 40% nonvolatile content, typical viscosity of 100 to 200 cP, and a flash point of 13 deg C. stated cure options include two hours at 77 deg C followed by six hours at 135 deg C, or 30 minutes at 177 deg C. The product supports winding impregnation where a low-viscosity epoxy varnish and controlled thermal cure are required.
Key features
- Low-viscosity winding impregnation: Typical viscosity is 100 to 200 cP in the as-supplied clear amber liquid.
- Controlled nonvolatile content: The varnish contains 36 to 40% nonvolatile material.
- Heat-cure flexibility: Documented cure options include a staged 77/135 deg C cycle or 30 minutes at 177 deg C.
Applications
- Motor-winding impregnation for hermetic compressors
- Motor-winding impregnation for refrigeration units
- Dip-and-bake insulating varnish applications

Physical Properties
Viscosity
100-200 mPa.s
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow.
Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as
the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP.
A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs-
compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than
water would.
The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in
order to better suit an application
Thermal Properties
Flash Point
13 °C
The flashpoint of a solvent is the lowest possible temperature at which it can vaporize to form an ignitable vapor.
Flashpoint is often confused with “autoignition temperature”, which is the temperature at which a solvent ignites without an ignition source.
Electrical Properties
Dielectric Strength
157.48 kV/mm
Dielectric strength is measured in kV per mm and is calculated by the Breakdown voltage divided by the thickness of the tested material.
Those two properties go hand in hand and while Breakdown voltage is always thickness dependent, dielectric strength is a general material property.
As an example, the dielectric strength of Polyimide is 236 kV/mm. If we place 1mm of Polyimide between two electrodes, it will act as an insulator until the voltage between the electrodes reaches 236 kV. At this point it will start acting as a good conductor, causing sparks, potential punctures and current flow.
