Main features

  • 800 to 1000 cP Flowability
  • Low-Exotherm Potting Systems
  • Large-Casting Encapsulation Fit

Product Description

LORD RT-8 Hardener is a green, modified tertiary amine component for supported LORD epoxy potting and encapsulation systems. This legacy hardener has a typical viscosity of 800 to 1000 cP and specific gravity of 0.99 at 25 deg C. Within compatible systems, the hardener is used for low-exotherm, semirigid potting, including large castings. RT-8 is a hardener component; its properties do not represent those of a complete cured epoxy system. Current commercial status and exact RT-8 safety documentation require confirmation.

Key features

  • Flowable hardener viscosity: Provides a typical 800 to 1000 cP component viscosity at 25 deg C.
  • Low-exotherm system behavior: Supports low-exotherm, semirigid behavior when used in the specified compatible epoxy systems.
  • Large-casting encapsulation fit: RT-8 is used for potting and encapsulation of large castings in compatible systems.

Applications

Applications include use as the hardener component in supported LORD epoxy potting and encapsulation systems, including large castings within the specified compatible systems.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
