INSULCAST 3230 LV: Low Viscosity, High Thermal Conductivity Casting Compound
INSULCAST 3230 LV, by ITW Performance Polymers, is a low viscosity epoxy casting compound. Notably, it is known for its exceptional thermal conductivity and electrical properties. In addition, this highly filled formulation provides high thermal conductivity with low thermal expansion. It is similar to INSULCAST 140 FR, but with a lower viscosity.
Product Description:
INSULCAST 3230 LV meets NASA outgassing specifications. Specifically, its Total Mass Loss (TML) ranges from 0.40 to 0.41%, and Collected Volatile Condensable Materials (CVCM) range from 0.0 to 0.1%. Thus, it is an ideal choice for applications requiring both excellent thermal performance and stringent outgassing standards.
Therefore, for reliable performance in demanding environments, INSULCAST 3230 LV is the optimal solution. It offers low viscosity and high thermal conductivity, making it a superior choice for casting needs.
