CHEMTOOLS Rapidstick™ Epoxy Potting Compound

Rapidstick™ PCT-5000 Epoxy Potting Compound is a general purpose two-component encapsulant consisting of a colourless polymer resin and a hardener. When mixed together, both components generate a chemical cross-link reaction which creates a tough, rigid, and strong compound with excellent adhesion. As a filled system, it achieves low shrinkage and has high impact resistance to vibration and thermal shock, with high resistance to chemicals, moisture, and solvents.

PCT-5000 cures at both room temperature and low temperatures and exhibits excellent thermal and electrical insulation with a multitude of advantages for coating and potting applications. The low viscosity formula has good leveling properties and fills voids and air pockets easily. It is naturally de-foaming, resists yellowing over time, has high transparency with no rippling, and a bright surface which can be directly sanded and polished once curing meets its recommended shore hardness (82D).

Typical applications include moisture-proof potting and electronics parts insulation, with primerless adhesion to most substrates. PCT-5000 bonds extremely well to printed circuit boards and electronic components, including transformers, coils, resistors, capacitors, solenoids, surface mount components, solder, and most plastics and metals.
