RAMPF Giessharze offers electro casting resins with extreme temperature resistance

RAMPF has developed a series of extreme temperature-resistant electro casting resins with highly flame retardant properties to protect power electronics in vehicles from overheating. The two-component polyurethane systems belonging to the RAKU-PUR® brand carry on reliably doing their job at temperatures ranging from -50 to +130 °C.

The demands made on electro casting resins could not be any more diverse. Different densities and viscosity levels on the one hand, extreme temperature variations, protection against overheating, impacts and chemicals on the other. Vehicles in particular are home nowadays to an ever increasing array of electrical and electronic components designed to enhance efficiency, safety, comfort and convenience. All the pointers indicate that this trend is set to continue. The development of electric vehicles is opening up whole new potential for power electronics – a trend which RAMPF Giessharz is ideally equipped to meet. The Grafenberg-based firm has developed a series of products entitled RAKU-PUR® 21-2120, 21-2161 and 21-2176 to provide reliable, effective protection for electric motors, relays, DC/DC converters, sensors and control systems. The 2-component polyurethane (PU)-based casting materials are characterized by extremely good thermal conductivity (0.9 W/m•K) and temperature resistance (-50 °C+130°C).

High flame retardance even with minimal coating thicknesses
Particularly in engine compartments with their extreme levels of exhaust heat and inherent risk of overheating for sensitive components, the use of PU systems from RAMPF can provide the ideal solution. This product series complies with the requirements of fire protection class V0 in accordance with UL94 even with minimal coating thicknesses of just 2 mm. In developing the material, the RAMPF experts dispensed entirely with the use of flame retardants containing halogens. As if that were not enough, the specialists also paid particular attention to ensuring maximum application flexibility. By varying the hardener components used, different mixing viscosity levels of between 1,500 and 4,000 mPa•s can be achieved. The same versatility is offered in terms of pot life, which can be adjusted to the production capacity anywhere between 90 seconds at room temperature and three and a half hours at 50°C.
