1042 Imide-Epoxy Impregnating Varnish
Class F varnish with low-temperature fast cure and high bond strength
1042 is composed of epoxy resin, imide-modified polyester resin and solvents. It cures fast at low temperature with high bond strength, and is especially designed for rotor windings of high-speed rotating motors.
- Temperature class
- Class F (155°C)
- Drying time (135°C)
- ≤90 min
- Water immersion strength
- ≥60 MV/m
- Typical use
- High-speed motor rotors

Key features
- Low-temperature fast cure for batch impregnation of high-speed motor rotors.
- Imide-epoxy system balances bond strength and heat resistance.
- Moisture resistance and stable dielectric performance for Class F insulation.
Applications
Impregnation of Class F motor and appliance windings; high-speed rotating motor rotor windings.
Why it fits
When the rotor has to leave the oven quickly and still come out solidly bonded and balanced.
