1. Product Overview

Arathane® VB U 6942 (Polyol) with Arathane® VB U 001/B (Isocyanate) is a halogen-free, polyurethane casting and impregnating system designed for room temperature curing. It is a soft multipurpose polyurethane system suitable for pressure-sensitive devices and is available in various colors (beige, black, grey). The system provides good thermal shock resistance and achieves UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.


2. Applications

  • Encapsulation / casting of transformers

  • Impregnation of filters

  • Encapsulation of capacitors

  • Other electrical and electronic devices requiring a soft, halogen-free polyurethane system

Processing methods: Manual or automatic casting/impregnating with mixing and dosing equipment.

3. Typical Properties

Before Mixing

Component Appearance Viscosity (25 ℃, mPa·s) Density (g/cm³)
VB U 6942 (NC – Beige) Beige liquid 3500 – 6000 1.47 – 1.51
VB U 6942 (BK – Black) Black liquid 3500 – 6000 1.47 – 1.51
VB U 6942 (Grey) Grey viscous liquid 3500 – 6000 1.48 – 1.52
VB U 001/B (Isocyanate) Brown liquid 100 – 160 1.23

Mixing ratio:

  • By weight → VB U 6942 : VB U 001/B = 100 : 16

  • By volume → VB U 6942 : VB U 001/B = 100 : 19
