LORD SC-320 LVH CoolTherm SC-320 LVH thermally conductive Encapsulant

CoolTherm SC-320 LVH (Low Viscosity) thermally conductive silicone encapsulant is a two-component system designed to

provide excellent thermal conductivity for electrical/ electronic encapsulating applications, while retaining desirable properties

associated with silicones.



Features and Benefits: Low Viscosity – maintains low viscosity for ease of component encapsulation compared to other highly

thermal conductive materials. Low Stress – exhibits low shrinkage and stress on components as it cures. Durable – composed

of an addition-curing polymer that will not depolymerize when heated in confined spaces. High Temperature Resistant –

provides excellent resistance for cured system that experiences continuous operating temperature up to 200­C; provides excellent

thermal shock resistance. UL Rated – provides excellent flame retardancy; UL 94 V-0 certified.



Application: Mixing – Thoroughly mix each component prior to combining resin and hardener. Mix CoolTherm SC-320 LVH resin with

LORD SC-320 LVH hardener at a 1:1 ratio, by weight or volume, until uniform in color. Automatic meter/mix/dispense equipment

may be used for high volume production. Unless a closed-chamber mechanical mixer is used, air may be introduced into the encapsulant

system either during mixing or when catalyzing the mixture. Electrical properties of the silicone encapsulant are best when air bubbles and

voids are minimized. Therefore, in extremely high voltage or other critical applications, vacuuming may be appropriate.



Applying – Apply silicone encapsulant using handheld cartridges or automatic meter/mix/dispense equipment.

Avoid applying encapsulant to surfaces that contain cure inhibiting ingredients, such as amines, sulfur, or tin salts.

If bonding surface is in question, apply a test patch of encapsulant to the surface and allow it to set for the normal cure time.

Curing – Allow encapsulant to cure for 30 minutes at 80­C, or for 24 hours at room temperature (25­C). This time-attemperature profile

refers to the time the material should be allowed to cure once it reaches the target temperature. Allowance should be made for oven ramp rates,

parts with large thermal mass and other circumstances that may delay material reaching the target temperature.



Shelf Life/Storage: Shelf life of each component is nine months when stored at 25­C in original unopened container.

LORD SC-320 LVH thermally conductive silicone encapsulant evolves minute quantities of hydrogen gas. Do not repackage or store material in unvented containers.

Adequately ventilate work area to prevent the accumulation of gas. Cautionary Information: Before using this or any Parker Lord product,

refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and label for safe use and handling instructions. For industrial/commercial use only. Must be applied by trained

personnel only. Not to be used in household applications. Not for consumer use.
