Description

Eccosorb® CR500

HIGH TEMPERATURE TWO PART CASTABLE LOAD ABSORBER

Eccosorb CR500 is a castable resin series that, when fully cured, will duplicate the physical and electrical properties of its counterpart in the Eccosorb® MF500 series. For example, Eccosorb® CR500-117 is the equivalent to Eccosorb® MF500-117. Frequency range from 1 – 18 GHz. Low out-gassing properties for space applications.

Typical application
Eccosorb CR500 can be used to mold waveguide terminations, attenuators, and loads to size.
Availability
Eccosorb CR500 i savailable in six castable versions,CR500-110,CR500-112,CR500-114, CR500-116, CR500-117 & CR500-124. Eccosorb CR500 is supplied as a two-part system consisting of a Component X and Component Y in 2 pound (quart) and 5 pound (gallon) kits. Shelf life is approximately 6 months when stored unmixed in a well sealed container at temperatures no higher than 25°C (77 °F).
Instructions for use
Prepare mold by applying a thin coat of butchers wax. Mix Part X in its shipping container to a uniform consistency before removing any material If crystals appear in Part Y,gently heat to 65°C (150°F) until crystals go into solution Weigh out the desired a mounts of both Part X and Part Y in accordance with the table below. Heat Part X to about 65°C (150 °F). This will reduce the viscosity substantially and improve pourability. Note: in an effort to drop viscosity do not dilute with any chemical as this would alter the electrical performance of the material. Thoroughly blend Part X and Part Y. Remove entrapped air, if necessary, by vacuum evacuation. Pour into mold (pot life at 65°C (150°F) is about 1 hour) and cure per the below schedule. The mold is also preferably preheated to about 65°C (150 °F). Clean up can be done with a solvent such as MEK. Unlike Eccosorb CR or CRS, Eccosorb CR500 requires a 4-step cure cycle to achieve its high temperature properties. Cure cycle is as follows: 8 hours at 93°C (200°F) then 12 hours at 121°C (250°F) then 5 hours at 149°C (300°F) then 3 hours at 177°C (350°F) If small volumes of materials are to be cured, the cycle can be accelerated, but the stepped temperatures should be retained.

*Eccosorb CR500 can be used for short periods at 260°C ( 500°F) permitting use at high power levels. Exposure to high temperatures should be limited. Slow change in physical and electrical properties occurs at temperatures above about 177°C (350°F).
* * Outgassing data per ASTM E595-07; criteria for acceptability is 1.00% TML and 0.10% CVCM.
