1. Product Overview

Araldite® MY 740 (resin) with Aradur™ HY 840-1 (hardener) is a liquid, low-viscosity, cold- to warm-curing epoxy impregnating and casting resin system.

  • Moderate reactivity, high flexibility after cure.

  • Suitable for Class A insulation applications (105 °C).

  • Good mechanical and electrical performance with low exotherm during cure.

  • Mix ratio: 100 pbw resin : 50–100 pbw hardener, depending on performance requirements.


2. Applications

  • Encapsulation and casting of electronic devices, especially printed wiring boards (PWBs).

  • Designed for casting with or without vacuum.

  • Useful where mechanical toughness and electrical insulation are essential.
