1. Product Overview

Araldite® CW 1304 (epoxy resin) with Aradur® HY 1300 (polyamine hardener) is an optimally filled epoxy casting system designed for room temperature or slightly elevated temperature curing. The system offers a low coefficient of thermal expansion, good thermal endurance, and excellent crack resistance, making it suitable for electrical and mechanical encapsulation applications.


2. Applications

  • Casting and vacuum casting of inductive components

  • Encapsulation of transformers

  • Insulation for generators and motors

  • Encapsulation of metal and ceramic inserts

3. Typical Properties

Before Mixing

Component Appearance Viscosity (25 ℃) Density (g/cm³)
CW 1304 (Resin) Grey, high-viscosity mass 165 – 225 Pa·s 1.82 – 1.88
HY 1300 (Hardener) Clear, yellowish liquid 150 – 190 mPa·s 0.990 – 1.005

Mixing ratio:

  • By weight → CW 1304 : HY 1300 = 100 : 12.5

  • By volume → CW 1304 : HY 1300 = 100 : 23
