RBC-3910 Hardener

Hardener

RBC-3910 epoxy system is a filled version of the RBC-3900 that offers higher thermal conductivity and improved electrical properties. It is relatively low in viscosity and its mix ratio of 1:1 adds to its convenient handling properties. Like RBC-3900, it is an epoxy system primarily designed for epoxy potting electrical and electronic components.
