Hysol GR180T | White Epoxy Mold Compound

Main features

Transmitting compound
High reliability
Good workability

Product Description

Hysol GR180T is a white, transmitting epoxy molding compound used for optical applications. This crystal silica filled (70%) product has been specifically designed to improve light transmittance and workability for optocouplers also knows as photo-couplers, optical isolators, or opto-isolators.

Hysol GR180T cures with heat and has been developed to be workable for transfer molding processes. It has been formulated to provide the best possible moldability for a wide range of molding process parameters.

Specific Gravity

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Shelf Life Shelf Life Shelf life is the amount of time after manufacturing that a product is guaranteed to retain its properties. It differs vastly per product and it is based on temperature and storage conditions. The properties can be guaranteed for the temperature and time range indicated on the TDS since those are the ones tested to be the best for the product.

Flexural Strength
Flexural Strength @ 25°C Flexural Strength @ 25°C Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test. This is the flexural strength tested at Room Temperature, 25°C	90 N/mm2

Hardness Hardness Hardness is a dimensionless quantity. There is no direct relationship between measurements in one scale and their equivalent in another scale or another hardness test.

Thermal Properties

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) CTE (Coefficient of thermal expansion) is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands with a change in temperature. This can be a change in length, area or volume, depending on the material. Knowing the CTE of the layers is helpful in analyzing stresses that might occur when a system consists of an adhesive plus some other solid component.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α1 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α1 CTE α1 (alpha 1) is the slope of the Coefficient of thermal expansion in a temperature range below the Glass transition temperature (Tg). It explains how much a material will expand until it reaches Tg.	26 ppm/°C
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α2 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE), α2 CTE α2 (alpha 2) is the slope of the Coefficient of thermal expansion in a temperature range above the Glass transition temperature (Tg). It explains the extent to which a material will expand after it passes Tg.	67 ppm/°C

Gel Time Gel Time Gel time is the time it takes for a material to reach such a high viscosity (gel like) that it is no longer workable. It is usually measured for different temperature conditions and even though it does not refer to full cure it is advisable to never move or manipulate the material after it reached its gel time since it can lose its desired end properties.
Gel Time @ 175°C / 347°F	15 s

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding.

The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.

195 °C

Curing Conditions

Curing Schedule Curing Schedule Curing schedule is the time and temperature required for a mixed material to fully cure. While this applies to materials that cure with heat, there are also other materials that can be cured with UV. Even though some materials can cure on ambient temperatures, others will require elevated temperature conditions to properly cure. There are various curing schedules depending on the material type and application. For heat curing, the most common ones are Snap cure, Low temperature cure, Step cure and Staged cure. Recommended cure type, schedule, time and temperature can always be found on the Technical data sheets.

Storage

Store product in the unopened container in a dry location. Storage information may be indicated on the product container labeling.

Optimal Storage: 5°C or below, in closed containers. After removal from cold storage, the material MUST be allowed to come to room temperature, in the sealed container, to avoid moisture contamination. The suggested waiting time for a standard 15 kg carton box is 24 hours.
