Cytec Introduces Highest UL RTI Rated Potting and Encapsulation Resin Systems
Woodland Park, NJ – November 12, 2013 – Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE: CYT) Formulated Resins today unveiled CONAP® EN-5800 series, its UL RTI 130°C certified pure polyurethane resin systems, at Productronica in Munich, Germany, November 12-15, 2013.This latest innovation from Cytec was developed to help electronic and electrical device makers take high temperature challenges head-on. The CONAP EN-5800 series pure polyurethane resins are expertly formulated to insulate circuitries, capable of managing extreme thermal cycles ranging from -50°C up to 130°C, while maintaining its flexibility and resiliency. These advanced resin systems have Shore A 85 hardness to effectively absorb vibration and protect sensitive surface mount components from overstress and fatigue."There are many variations of potting and encapsulation resin systems in the market today," said Rick Jordan, Technical Services Manager for Formulated Resins. "What makes the CONAP EN-5800 series unique is that it provides a balance of properties for durability, flexibility and performance in high temperature environments."This polyurethane system remains remarkably tough, sustaining harsh environments without cracking or losing adhesion, while at the same time maintaining its flexibility to prevent potting or encapsulation induced failure. Equally important to field performance, Cytec understands its customers' critical requirements for resins that can be easily integrated with existing processing parameters. With this in mind, Cytec offers three different cure times while retaining all the desired properties. These flexible processing options afford manufacturers with greater opportunities to utilize the EN-5800 series for a variety of applications such as power management devices, solar inverters, vehicle electronics, HVAC motor controls, appliance control boards and in other electronics applications where sensitive circuitries are prevalent. Formulated Resins offers a range of potting and encapsulation resin systems, fast-curing conformal coating resins and industrial adhesives for reliable adhesion to a variety of substrates.
