3169
Astro 3169 is a two-part epoxy system used as a potting and encapsulation system. Its non-sagging characteristics make it ideal for use in inverted applications. This resin system has high temperature resistance, and features excellent mechanical strength to withstand the physical stress of thermal cycling and expansion.
Astro 3169 is often used for potting and encapsulating high voltage connections in large turbine generators and large electric motors.
