RBC-3300 is a filled, medium-viscosity, general-purpose epoxy potting compound and epoxy casting resin which offers low shrinkage, good air release, and excellent physical and electrical properties. It can be cured at room temperature or at elevated temperatures depending upon the epoxy hardener selected and the heat resistance of the part.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Weigh the desired amount of #3300 Resin into a clean container and combine with recommended hardener in one of the ratios shown below. 

RECOMMENDED HARDENERS:

A-110: A rigid, room temperature curing system with limited pot life and fast cure.

A-120: A resilient, low viscosity system with slightly longer pot life, that exhibits excellent resistance to thermal shock.

AB-312: Good resistance to heat, chemicals, thermal and mechanical shock, and good electrical properties at high humidity.
