Bectron® EP 5504 – Epoxy casting compound for high-thermal-load components with UL 94 V0 flame resistance

Item Name: Bectron® EP 5504
Manufacturer: ELANTAS Beck GmbH
Technologies: Two-component epoxy casting system (with Hardener Bectron® EH 5909)
Color: Light beige (resin), Colorless-transparent (hardener)
Cure Type: Cold curing at room temperature (optional post-curing at 100 °C)
Package Size: Resin: 1 kg, 5 kg buckets; 30 kg hoop | Hardener: 1 kg can
Shelf Life: 9 months

1. Product Overview

Bectron® EP 5504 is a two-component cold-curing epoxy casting compound used with Hardener Bectron® EH 5909. It cures into a hard, thermally conductive, self-extinguishing (UL 94 V-0) moulding material. It offers high mechanical strength, good dielectric properties, adhesion to various substrates, and thermal class F (155 °C) performance. Post-curing at elevated temperature is optional to further enhance mechanical and thermal properties.


2. Applications

  • Encapsulation and casting of electrical and electronic components with high thermal loads.

  • Ideal for magnet coils, brake coils, lifting magnets, and similar devices.

  • Suitable for situations requiring high thermal conductivity, flame retardancy, and reliable mechanical strength.
