ISO-CAST® A765
Flame-retardant casting resin based on UL94.
ISO-CAST® A765
ISO-CAST® A765 is a mineral-filled, cold-curing 2-component polyurethane casting resin based on polyether and ester polyols, epoxy resins and polymeric aromatic diisocyanates. The potting compound is flame retardant. ISO-CAST® A765 moldings do not contain any plasticisers and do not tend to become brittle. The system features low potting viscosity, good heat dissipation and very little shrinkage during curing. The compound shows good anti-corrosion properties and high adhesion to metal, ceramics and many plastics. The hydrolysis resistance is excellent. The product 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
Stir up the resin container thoroughly before use to remove any possible sedimentation. Weigh the resin and hardener in the desired mixing ratio and mix for 1 – 3 minutes (depending on mixed quantity 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 thoroughly and knead for 3 minutes. Before casting, a homogeneous mass, free of streaks, must be obtained. Pour immediately afterwards and do not scrape the mixing vessel. Air bubbles that have been stirred in, can be removed before the end of the potlife by evacuating the material or carefully fanning the surface with a hot air gun. Machine casting is also possible.
