1. Product Overview

Araldite® MY 740 / Aradur® HY 906 / Accelerator DY 070 is a hot-curing, low-viscosity impregnating epoxy resin system designed for electrical insulation. It combines good mechanical and dielectric properties with excellent aging resistance. The system is based on:

  • Araldite® MY 740 (epoxy resin, 100 pbw)

  • Aradur® HY 906 (hardener, 95 pbw)

  • Accelerator DY 070 (1.2 pbw).

It is solvent-free, moisture-sensitive (especially HY 906), and requires controlled storage.


2. Applications

  • Manufacture of electrical laminates (tubes, rods, laminates).

  • Impregnation of high-voltage bushings and coils.

  • Processing methods:

    • Filament winding

    • Pultrusion

    • Wet laminating

    • Trickle impregnation
