FLEXIBLE URETHANE ELASTOMER
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PROTAVIC Metrethane 4734 is a part of a new class of PROTAVIC flexible urethane elastomers specifically designed for demanding electronic applications requiring flexible, medium viscosity, thermal shock resistance. Metrethane 4734 is a two-component, low viscosity system that provides excellent protection of electronic components ranging from transducers, sensors, load cells, delicate magnetic coils and bobbins to power supply applications where minimal inductance drop after potting is required.

Preparation of Mixture
For product purchased in two-component kits, mix the entire contents of Metrethane 4734 base and activator in their original shipping containers to a uniform consistency and color, each time, before dispensing. Take care to incorporate all material adhering to the bottom, sides and corners of the containers. Mechanical mixing of the components for two to three minutes is satisfactory. Measure only the approximate amount that can be applied in 0.5 hours. Blanket containers of unused base and activator with nitrogen prior to re-sealing for storage.
Air Removal
Air entrapment during mixing may be removed in vacuum (5 mm of mercury). The holding container should be no more than one-third full. Allow the mixture to foam and then subside. Maintain the low pressure for several more minutes, at which point most of the large bubbles will have broken.
Application
The material can be poured in the required thickness after which the parts are set aside to cure using the recommended cure schedules listed on the first page.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
HANDLING PROTAVIC Metrethane 4734 is a blend of urethane resins and curing agents. Keep stored in the original container at temperatures from 0oC to25oC. The product is uniform when packaged.Read material safety data sheets before handling. Keep containers closed when not in use. Effective ventilation is necessary. Goggles, gloves and protective clothing should be worn during handling or exposure. Refer to the product MSDS for more information.
Availability and Order Information
Metrethane 4734 is available as a two-component kit consisting of separate containers of urethane resin and curing agent. Metrethane 4734 is available in pint, quart, one gallon, and five gallon kits.
Packaging Sizes & Types
