Bectron® PK 4340 is a one-component resin system which cures to form a soft polyurethane duroplastic. It comprises a liquid polyol system with a dispersed solid encapsulated polyisocyanate and a pigment combination selected to provide controlled rheology including excellent thixotropic properties. Heating the resin releases the encapsulated polyiso-cyanate resulting in a polyaddition reaction to give a resistant duroplastic cured material.
In contrast to the usual 2 component resin systems Bectron® PK 4340 is ready to use and distinguished by excellent properties and especially good environ-mental compatibility
FEATURES
- The cured material displays high elasticity and strength producing excellent temperature cycling behaviour within the range of -60°C to +125°C as well as resistance to vibrations. This ensures minimal crazing even in thick layered applications.
- Bectron® PK 4340 has excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of aggressive liquids common in au-tomotive applications.
- Bectron® PK 4340 has good adhesion on almost all materials used in the field of electronics. Even after several temperature cycles there is no loss of adhe-sion mechanical and electrical properties
- Satisfies ROHS Directive
APPLICATIONS
- The cured Bectron® PK 4340 is a soft duroplastic suitable for vibration protection of delicate compo-nents
- Bectron® PK 4340 is therefore well suited for the partial or selective coating of SMD and other compo-nents groups on printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates. The rapid increase of viscosity at low shear allows small areas of components to be pro-tected individually.
- Bectron® PK 4340 can be applied as a dam around an area requiring thicker coating to be filled by a low-er viscosity grade such as PK 4342.
