Casting & Potting Materials
ELANTAS PDG, Inc. offers a wide range of high performance casting resins and potting resins.

Our 2-component casting and potting materials are based on epoxy, polyurethane, polybutadiene and silicone and are especially designed for areas in demanding electrical and electronic applications. Additional properties such as improved heat dissipation, much greater mechanical stability at high vibrational forces, noise reduction, and often the complete exclusion of environmental influences are required in these applications.

Our CONAP®, Conathane®, Conapoxy®, ELAN-Bond, ELAN-Cast®, ELAN-Tron®, Easypoxy® and Micares®  brands guarantee optimum protection of light electrical and heavy electrical machines operating in challenging environments and cover a broad spectrum of mechanical, electrical and self-extinguishing properties. Our Conathane®, Conashield™, ELAN-Tron® and Bectron® product range is especially designed for the protection of electronic devices.

Many of our products are recognized according to UL 94 (and other UL standards such as 1446 and 746B). Some materials are additionally certified for the use in railway applications (EN 45545 or NF F 16-101).

Light Electrical Applications
The light electric sector includes essential parts for everyday consumer electrical goods. The applications cover the full range from low to high voltages, such as smaller transformers, lighting, home applications, automotive uses, smaller generators and motors (e.g. power tools and submersible pumps).

Heavy Electrical Applications
The heavy electric sector comprises larger devices that are often operated at medium to high voltages. Transformers used for power distribution and instruments belong to this sector. Switchgears, motors and generators are also considered part of this application field.

Electronic Applications
Electronic components and devices must meet high reliability demands in challenging environments, such as extreme temperatures, vibration or exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals. CONAP®, Conathane®, ELAN-Ton®and Bectron®potting materials provide highly effective protection of electronic components, such as PCBs, sensors, modules and transponders, etc.

Casting & Potting Materials
The need to insulate electrically and ever more safely the devices that are part of our daily life has become increasingly pressing every year.

In fact, the safety of electrical and electronic component use is the basis of the continuously effeicient performance of objects that constantly make our existence easier and more liveable.In fact, the safety of electrical and electronic component use is the basis of the continuously efficient performance of objects that constantly make our existence easier and more liveable.

Transformers, motors, electrical insulators and coils are increasingly required to perform at the limit, both in terms of desired efficiency and resistance to the most diverse environmental situations.

ELANTAS has always been in a position to satisfy the innovative developments of the markets to which it aims to offer a complete range of formulations for applications using casting or potting technologies, such as polyurethane and silicone epoxy resins. All this with the purpose of allowing its customers to obtain the best final performance of their devices in compliance with current regulations regarding both safety and the environment.

With the experience gained in decades of development alongside its partners ELANTAS supplies product solutions designed for use with application processes including room temperature hot polymerization, manual or through dosing systems. The ELANTAS portfolio in fact proposes systems whose use is managed both at atmospheric pressure and under vacuum, but also with applications under pressure either in VPG or in APG—all to guarantee a result that can enable the achievement of the required efficiency and competitive objectives from the market.

Precisely in this context, ELANTAS has provided, over the years, solutions that allow the overcoming of the most challenging problems, presenting users with resins and hardeners able to guarantee high resistance to atmospheric agents and to fire, usable even in the most severe conditions.

With its production sites in Europe, Asia and the Americas, ELANTAS is also able to guarantee its formulations, availability and technical assistance all over the world by offering a product portfolio capable of covering the quality standards of industries globally.
