Key features
- Good thick-layer curing for large coils and repeated impregnation.
- High hot-state bond strength reduces coil loosening in service.
- Class F heat resistance with balanced mechanical, electrical and moisture performance.
Applications
Impregnation of Class F motors, transformers and appliance coils; windings requiring thick-layer curing.
Why it fits
The workhorse Class F varnish - it cures through thick layers where a thin varnish leaves the inside wet.
