CoolTherm® UR-288 encapsulant is a twocomponent urethane system designed for encapsulating and casting applications. CoolTherm UR-288 encapsulant cures at room temperature to produce a flame retardant, semi-flexible material. This material meets UL 94 HB rating at 3.0 mm thickness when the 100:20 mix ratio is utilized.
Features and Benefits:
• Low Stress – exhibits low shrinkage and stress on components as it cures.
• Low Viscosity – maintains low viscosity for complete and void-free encapsulation.
• Room Temperature Cure – suitable for curing at room temperature; may be mildly heat cured (60°C) to expedite cure.
• Low Exotherm – exhibits low exothermic heat rise during room temperature cure.
• Environmentally Resistant – provides excellent thermal shock resistance and flame retardancy.
Shelf Life/Storage:
Shelf life of each component is six months when stored at 25°C in original, unopened container. CoolTherm UR-288 resin container must be periodically inverted to prevent settling.
After opening, protect each component from excessive moisture by using dry nitrogen as an inert cover.
If stored or shipped at cooler temperatures, CoolTherm UR-288 hardener may crystallize. If crystals appear, gently warm hardener at 30-50°C to melt crystals before mixing with resin. Limit heating period to less than three hours as excessive heating will cause dimerization.
