MG Chemicals 832WC - Water Clear Epoxy
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
832WC is a rigid, 2-part, clear epoxy resin that offers extreme environmental, mechanical and physical protection for printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies. It is designed for applications where high clarity is required. It does not yellow when exposed to UV light; it maintains clarity in applications with service temperatures of up to 65 °C and intermittent exposures of up to 100 °C. It can be used for underwater applications such as potting swimming pool lights. It is also a good choice for casting resin.

- Mixing
If crystallization/solidification occurs, reconstitute the product by warming to between 55 and 65 °C until it becomes fully re-liquified. Let the material cool to room temperature before mixing, to prevent flash cure.. Mixing >500 g at a time decreases working life and can lead to a flash cure. Limit the size of hand-mixed batches.
