3M Scotchcast™ 5230N Electrical Epoxy Powder Resin
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy; Epoxy Cure Resin

Material Notes: 3M Scotchcast Electrical Resin 5230N is a widely used, general purpose epoxy powder resin. A one-part, blue pigmented, rapid heat-curing product, it is designed to provide a continuous, tough moisture and chemical resistant dielectric coating to a variety of substrates. Scotchcast 5230N is manufactured by a fusion blend process, insuring that each individual particle of powder contains all the components necessary to effect a complete cure and attain stated performance properties. Scotchcast 5230 is applied to a cold object via the electrostatic fluid bed process. The negatively charged resin particles are attracted to the grounded object to be coated. Coating thicknesses up to 25 mils may be obtained. Because of its superior charging capabilities Scotchast 5230N exhibits excellent slot penetration on motor stators and armatures. Uses for Scotchcast 5230N include moisture-proofing and insulating armatures, stator, buss bars and toroid cores.
