ELANTAS CONAPOXY FR-1047 Black Epoxy Resin, 5 Gallon Pail

Description

CONAPOXY FR-1047 is a black epoxy resin used in flame-retardant potting and casting systems for electrical and industrial components. The 5 gallon pail format fits production cells that need larger resin volume for encapsulation, mold filling, or repeat component protection work.

CONAPOXY FR-1047 Benefits

• Flame-retardant epoxy system supports applications where fire performance is part of the material selection.
• Low exotherm helps larger pours cure with less heat buildup than hotter casting systems.
• Thermal shock resistance supports assemblies that see temperature cycling after cure.
• Good electrical properties make the material relevant for electronic protection and encapsulation work.
• 5 gallon resin supply fits batch production better than small cartridge or quart packaging.

Use this resin as part of the complete system with the correct CONACURE hardener and mix procedure. It is not a one-part product, so ratio control, mixing quality, and cure conditions matter.

CONAPOXY FR-1047 Applications

• Potting transformers, coils, and electrical assemblies that need flame resistance.
• Casting and encapsulating components where low exotherm helps protect the part.
• Industrial electronics exposed to vibration, heat cycling, or handling loads.
• Filled mold cavities where non-abrasive flow is useful during placement.
• Production programs that require Shore D cured hardness in a controlled epoxy system.

Surface Preparation And Mixing

Keep containers closed until use and mix only with the approved hardener for the job. Weigh or meter both components accurately, scrape the vessel walls during mixing, and avoid whipping air into the resin. Degas when the part geometry or inspection standard requires low void content.

Parts should be clean, dry, and free of oil, dust, release agents, and loose corrosion. Confirm cure schedule, pot life, and thermal exposure with the current data sheet before releasing a production batch.

Technical Details And Documentation

Published technical data describes this system as flame retardant, non-abrasive, low exotherm, thermally shock resistant, and capable of 80 to 90 Shore D hardness when cured with listed hardeners. Review current product information from ELANTAS before setting ratio, cure, or inspection criteria.
