Casting resins and potting compounds

When casting, the processing steps influence the final result: mixing ratio, temperature, and quantity are just as important as the choice of resin. Our articles explain these relationships and help you identify typical mistakes.

You will find fundamental information on epoxy and polyurethane resins, transparent castings, and the potting of electronic components. This includes guidance on mixing, processing time, and curing.
