Casting of ISO-CAST® A765-MI
ISO-CAST® A765-MI is a mineral-filled, cold-curing 2-component cast resin based on functionalized hydrocarbon resins and equipped with flame-retardant additives. The system chemically crosslinks to form an infusible elastomer. The material exhibits a high base viscosity and a strong thixotropic effect. Therefore, it does not leak out of small gaps in housings, cable entries and similar geometric designs even before curing. It is possible to form beads of resin that can be applied even to vertical surfaces. The resistance to hydrolysis is excellent. The cured material does not contain any plasticisers and does not tend to become brittle. It features good heat dissipation and very little shrinkage during curing. The mass has good anti-corrosion properties and high adhesion to metal, ceramics and many plastics. The product does not fall under the EU diisocyanate training regulations. ISO-CAST® A765-MI is RoHS compliant according to EU Directives 2011/65/EU (“RoHS”) and 2015/863/EU (“RoHS III”).

Storage and transport
Store in a dry and airtight, closed container at 10 – 35°C. Can be stored for at least 12 months in original sealed containers under the above conditions. Short-term deviations during transport and storage are acceptable.
Cleaning
To ensure good adhesion of the cast resin the customer should individually test the suitability of the involved surfaces. Possible pre-treatments like cleaning, activation processes (plasma process) etc. should also be taken into account. The contact surfaces should be free of dirt such as dust, grease or water. For cleaning we recommend ISO-RC® Degreaser for wipe degreasing or ISO-RC® Flux-Off + ISO-RC® Spraywash for spray degreasing (available in 400 ml spray cans).
Processing
Standard processing from cartridge: Put the cartridge upright for 10 minutes with the sealing cap upwards so that any gas pockets can collect. Then insert the cartridge into the gun and press until both components come out. Wipe off the excess, attach the mixing tube and squeeze out and discard half the mixing tube length of the material.
For loose goods: Stir the resin container thoroughly. Weigh the resin and hardener in the specified mixing ratio and mix for 1 – 3 minutes (depending on the batch size and processing time). Apply suitable mixing speed in order to ensure complete homogeneous mixing without introducing too many air bubbles into the reaction mass. The ideal processing temperature is 20 – 25°C. In general, curing is delayed at lower temperatures and accelerated at higher temperatures. When using a double chamber bag, empty the corners well and knead for 3 minutes. Before casting a homogeneous mass, free of streaks, must be obtained. Then pour immediately and do not scrape the mixing vessel. Air bubbles in the reaction mass can be removed before the end of the potlife by evacuating the material or carefully fanning the surface with a hot air gun. Machine processing is also possible.
