HYSOL® DK15-0463
Epoxy Coating Powder
Formerly Dexter

Description
®
Hysol DK15-0463 is an epoxy based coating powder developed for the insulation of low voltage bus
bars. It offers improved moisture resistance when compared to other DK15 series products. It also
provides smooth surface appearance with high edge coverage properties. DK15-0463 also carries UL
recognition for 130°C operating temperatures. Particle size distribution is tailored for application via a
fluid bed process.

Powders should be stored at 50°F (10°C) or below in closed containers. Storage areas should be
designed to minimize moisture. After removing powder from cool storage, allow to equilibrate
with ambient temperature in closed containers before using to avoid moisture contamination.
