Product Description

3M™ Scotch-Weld™ Epoxy Potting Compound DP270 Black is a two-part, low-viscosity epoxy resin system designed primarily for potting, sealing, and encapsulating electronic components. It is non-corrosive to copper and offers good thermal shock resistance, along with excellent retention of electrical insulation properties under high humidity conditions. The product has a work life of approximately 70 minutes, a tack-free time of about 3 hours, and reaches full cure after 48 hours at 73°F (23°C). It produces minimal exotherm, making it suitable for heat-sensitive components.
