Henkel developed this new potting material in anticipation of the December 11, 2010, implementation of revised UL-674 requirements for potting and sealing compounds used in hazardous locations.
Used to pot and seal wire conduits, LoctiteŽ E-40EXP(TM) isolates the electric motor from hazardous vapors and chemicals that could cause an explosion. Clean and fast-curing, LoctiteŽ E-40EXP(TM) can be used in any size fitting, potting or sealing application. The material will not expand and experiences very little shrinkage, facilitating accurate dispensing.
LoctiteŽ E-40EXP(TM) is available either in user-friendly 2:1 static mix cartridges for easy dispensing or in bulk for high volume applications. This material cures in approximately 2 hours at room temperature and contains no carcinogens, ensuring worker safety.
