ISO-POX® HP 89/7
Yellowish clear epoxy casting resin
ISO-POX® HP 89/7 is a cold-curing, highly transparent epoxy casting resin for casting electrical components. Coatings and moldings made from ISO-POX® HP 89/7 form tack-free, scratch-resistant surfaces. ISO-POX® HP 89/7 contains no phthalates or silicones and does not tend to become brittle. The compound has good anti-corrosion properties and high adhesion to metal, ceramics and many plastics. The standard mixing ratio of resin : hardener is 2 : 1 parts by weight. ISO-POX® HP 89/7 is RoHS compliant according to EU Directives 2011/65/EU (“RoHS”) and 2015/863/EU (“RoHS III”).

Storage and transport
Store in a dry and airtight, closed container at 15 – 35°C. Can be stored for at least 12 months in original sealed containers under the above conditions. Short-term deviations during transport and storage are acceptable. When stored at low temperatures, component A may experience crystallization effects. These are reversible. To do this, heat component A to 40 – 50°C for several hours.
Cleaning
To ensure good adhesion of the cast resin the customer should individually test the suitability of the involved surfaces. Possible pre-treatments like cleaning, activation processes (plasma process) etc. should also be taken into account. The contact surfaces should be free of dirt such as dust, grease or water. For cleaning we recommend ISO-RC® Degreaser for wipe degreasing or ISO-RC® Flux-Off + ISO-RC® Spraywash for spray degreasing (available in 400 ml spray cans).
Processing
Stir up the resin container thoroughly before use to remove any possible sedimentation. Weigh the resin and hardener in the desired mixing ratio and mix for 1 – 3 minutes (depending on mixed quantity and processing time). Apply suitable mixing speed in order to ensure complete homogeneous mixing without introducing too many air bubbles into the reaction mass. The ideal processing temperature is 20 – 25°C. In general, curing is delayed at lower temperatures and accelerated at higher temperatures. When using a double chamber bag, empty the corners thoroughly and knead for 3 minutes. Before casting, a homogeneous mass, free of streaks, must be obtained. Pour immediately afterwards and do not scrape the mixing vessel. Air bubbles that have been stirred in, can be removed before the end of the potlife by evacuating the material or carefully fanning the surface with a hot air gun. Machine casting is also possible.
