RBC-4300 Resin

RBC #4300 is a lower viscosity version of RBC #4100. It offers the same thermal conductive properties, excellent electrical insulation, high heat dissipation and low shrinkage as #4100. Being lower in viscosity it offers better wetting properties and intricate components. RBC #4300 can be cured at room temperature or elevated temperatures to fit a variety of applications. It can be used as heat sink for large castings or as an encapsulant for heat generating components.

The above properties are typical of a system cured with Hardener AB-56.
 

RECOMMENDED HARDENERS:

AB-56: A rigid, room temperature curing system with limited pot life and fast cure.

A-121: 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.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Weigh the desired amount of #4300 Resin into a clean container and combine with recommended hardener in the proper ratio as shown below.
