Master Bond EP17HT-100 is a high performance, one part epoxy that combines easy handling with superb physical properties. The use of this epoxy is straightforward and simple. EP17HT-100 is not premixed and frozen and has unlimited working life at room temperature. It has a moderate viscosity with good flow properties, and can be used for potting and encapsulation in thicknesses up to 1/2 inch. Most importantly, EP17HT-100 cures in 60-90 minutes at 200-220°F, or 45-60 minutes at 275-300°F. Optimal properties are achieved with curing at 3-4 hours at 300°F followed by post curing at 350-400°F for a few hours, if possible. And, although the best properties are obtained by going with the higher temperature curing, the 200-220°F schedule still gives very good physical strength values along with first rate thermal conduction and electrical insulation numbers as well.
