SynChem – Resins & Varnishes WEVOSIL 20201/60 Gel
Solvent-free, additive crosslinking addition-curing two-component silicone-based casting resin system
The resulting gel-like molding material is characterized by good low-temperature flexibility and excellent behavior in the temperature shock test. Recommended temperature range: -60 °C to +200 °C.
The resin is processed together with WEVOSIL 20201/60 B.
Application
- Pressure-sensitive electrical components
- complete assemblies in SMD technology
Standards
- Temperature application range -60 °C - +200 °C
- Isolation class H
- RTI 180 °C
Delivery forms
10 kg and 25 kg containers and 200 L barrel
Color
WEVOSIL 20201/60 A: Natural
WEVOSIL 20201/60 B: Natural
Storage
Polymer (A-component) and crosslinker (B-component) must be stored dry and at a temperature of 5 °C to 30 °C and not in the open air. The containers should be stored upright and not
directly on the cold floor (floor temperature not below 5 °C). WEVOSIL 20201/60 Gel has a shelf life of 6 months after production.
At temperatures above 25 °C, the settling of the fillers contained in the casting compound is accelerated. The potting compound is then more difficult to homogenize.
Hardening
- Pot life: 50-60 minutes at room temperature, depending on layer thickness and casting volume.
- Curing time: 8 hours at room temperature, 1 hour at 100 °C
- Final chemical curing: several days at room temperature
Curing notes:
- Excessive humidity has a damaging effect on the uncured compound. If necessary, curing should take place in an air-conditioned room, a container with low humidity or in an oven.
- Curing at an elevated temperature (50 - 100 °C) accelerates the curing reaction and can influence the adhesion of the potting compound to the walls of the component.
- The WEVOSIL 20201/60 casting compound reaches its final hardness after a few days at room temperature..
- After approx. 8 hours curing at room temperature (or 1 h @ 100 °C) approx. 90 - 95 % of the curing takes place. To achieve the final hardness, post-curing can then be carried out for 2 hours at 165 - 180 °C. However, this last step is not absolutely necessary. After a few days, the casting compound reaches its final hardness even at room temperature (depending on the system).
- Electrical tests of the component quality can usually be carried out after the first curing (8 hours at room temperature or 1 h @ 100 °C).
