Product Description

***GR2821 has been completely superseded by GR2820***

Did you come looking for GR2821? This product is no longer available and has been completely superseded by GR2820.

Wait, so 21 superseded by 20? Yes, naming conventions were not that bright back then.

Hysol GR2821 was a black semiconductor-grade epoxy molding compound or duroplast designed for the encapsulation and protection of thin walled conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors (POSCAP). Once molded and post-mold cured, this product provided optimum protection and reliability for these capacitor devices. It had been designed for Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) In the world of passive components, POSCAPs were relatively new to the scene. These solid electrolytic capacitors have many advantages, but offer challenges for epoxy mold compound manufacturers. After many years of development, the GR2821 has been developed to have excellent thin wall crack resistance - the greatest challenge of molding these devices. Furthermore, it has been optimized for automolding equipment.

Hysol GR2821 was an environmentally "green" product, meaning that didn't contain any bromine, antimony or phosphorus flame retardants. Previous MG-series EMC dominated the space for tantalum capacitors but used halogen-containing flame retardants. This next generation epoxy mold compound replaces these older generation products. This material was designed to achieve JEDEC Level 1 requirements at 260°C reflow temperature on conductive polymer capacitors. It's fast cure time also ensures that it is compatible with the latest automold manufacturing equipment. Hysol GR2821 meets UL 94 V-0 Flammability at 1/4 inch (6.35mm) thickness.

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.

Moisture Absorption

Moisture Absorption
Moisture absorption shows the capacity of a polymer to absorb moisture from its environment.

Absorbed moisture can reduce the glass transition temperature and strength of a polymer and can also result in popcorning, unreliable adhesion or voids in the bond line due to moisture desorption or entrapment.

Moisture absorption should always be mentioned with the test conditions to provide a meaningful frame of reference.

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.	13 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.	45 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	31 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.

116 °C

Thermal Conductivity

Thermal Conductivity
Thermal conductivity describes the ability of a material to conduct heat. It is required by power packages in order to dissipate heat and maintain stable electrical performance.

Thermal conductivity units are [W/(m K)] in the SI system and [Btu/(hr ft °F)] in the Imperial system.
