Technical Data Sheet Hysol(R) Product E-60NC 1001 Trout Brook Crossing Rocky Hill, CT 06067-3910 Telephone: (860) 571-5100 FAX: (860) 571-5465 formerly Durabond E-60NC Industrial Version, August 2001 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LOCTITE(R) Hysol(R) Product E-60NC is a flowable, industrial grade epoxy potting compound with extended work life. Once mixed, the two-part epoxy cures at room temperature to form a rigid, black encapsulant that is non-corrosive to metallic components on PC Boards and electronic assemblies. The fully cured epoxy provides excellent environmental and chemical resistance, and acts as an electrical insulator. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Designed for bonding, potting and encapsulating electrical components which are sensitive to corrosion. Used in electronic applications, for component attachment to boards, housing assembly and potting.

For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). Directions for use 1. For high strength structural bonds, removal of surface contaminates such as paint, oxide films, oils, dust, mold release agents and all other surface contaminates. 2. Use gloves to minimize skin contact. DO NOT use solvents for cleaning hands. 3. Dual Cartridges: To use simply insert the cartridge into the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. Bulk Containers: Mix thoroughly by weight or volume in the proportions specified in Properties of Uncured Material section. Mix vigorously approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained. 4. For maximum bond strength apply adhesive evenly to both surfaces to be joined. 5. Application to the substrates should be made within 60 minutes. Larger quantities and/or higher temperatures will reduce this working time. 6. Join the adhesive coated surfaces and allow to cure at 25C (77F) for 24 hours for high strength. Heat up to 93C (200F), will speed curing. 7. Keep parts from moving during cure. Contact pressure is necessary. Maximum shear strength is obtained with a 3-9 mil bond line. 8. Excess uncured adhesive can be cleaned up with ketone type solvents. Storage Product shall be ideally stored in a cool, dry location in unopened containers at a temperature between 8C to 28C (46F to 82F) unless otherwise labeled. Optimal storage is at the lower half of this temperature range. To prevent contamination of unused product, do not return any material to its original container.
