Drying & Cure Guide ▾

Typical drying and curing information for Ultimeg 2000-372 electrical insulating varnishes. Times may vary depending on film thickness, component size, airflow and workshop conditions.

Touch Dry

15 min

Surface becomes touch dry at approximately 21°C.

Handleable

45–60 min

Components can usually be handled carefully after this stage.

Full Cure

24–48 hrs

Full cure at ambient temperature for maximum developed properties.

Heat Cure

2–3 hrs

Accelerated cure by heating components at approximately 80°C.

Workshop note:
Heavily taped, tightly wound or larger components may retain solvent for longer. Heat curing can help reduce the risk of solvent entrapment and speed up final cure.

Application Methods ▾

The Ultimeg 2000-372 range is available in both aerosol and liquid formats to suit different workshop requirements. Choose the application method that best matches your repair, maintenance or production process.

Brush

Ideal for touch-ups, repairs, stator windings and areas requiring precise varnish application.

Dip

Commonly used for complete coil impregnation and consistent coverage of smaller electrical components.

Spray

Aerosol cans are ideal for maintenance and touch-ups, while liquid varnish can be spray applied using suitable workshop equipment.

Application note:
Aerosol versions are supplied ready to use. Liquid varnishes may be thinned where required using compatible thinners, following the manufacturer's recommendations for the chosen application method.

Workshop Tips ▾

Following good workshop practices helps achieve a more consistent finish, improved impregnation and reliable electrical insulation performance.

Use at Room Temperature

Cold varnish is thicker and may not flow or penetrate as effectively. Allow the product to reach normal workshop temperature before use where practical.

Drain Excess Varnish

After dip impregnation, allow excess varnish to drain before curing. This helps produce a more even coating and reduces runs or pooling.

Heat Cure Large Windings

Larger or tightly wound components benefit from heat curing to reduce solvent entrapment and achieve a more complete cure.

Good workshop practice:
Drying and curing times are influenced by coating thickness, airflow, humidity and component size. Always verify that the varnish is fully cured before placing electrical equipment into service or packaging components for storage.

Standards & Performance ▾

Ultimeg 2000-372 has been independently tested to recognised international standards and is designed for demanding electrical insulation applications where long-term dielectric performance is essential.

Class H

Suitable for Class H (180°C) electrical insulation systems used in demanding industrial environments.

UL1446 Recognised

Recognised under UL File E220579 for use in Class H insulation systems.

Tested Standards

Conforms to BS EN 600464 Type 1.1 and has been tested to recognised ASTM electrical performance standards.

Proven Performance

Achieved a 20,000-hour performance rating at temperatures above 180°C during ASTM testing.

Performance note:
Published test results are based on laboratory testing under controlled conditions. Actual service life and performance will depend on operating temperature, component design, application method and environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions ▾

Can I use Ultimeg 2000-372 for motor rewinding?

Yes. Ultimeg 2000-372 is designed for electrical insulation applications including motor rewinding, transformer repairs, coils, stators and other electrical windings requiring a durable Class H insulating varnish.

What's the difference between the aerosol and 5 litre varnishes?

Both products use the same Ultimeg 2000-372 varnish system. Aerosol cans are ideal for maintenance, touch-ups and smaller repairs, while the 5 litre liquid varnishes are better suited to motor rewinding, dip impregnation, brush application and larger workshop jobs.

Can the liquid varnish be sprayed?

Yes. The 5 litre varnish can be applied by brush, dip or spray using suitable workshop equipment. Where viscosity adjustment is required, always use the manufacturer's recommended thinner and follow the application instructions.

How long does Ultimeg 2000-372 take to cure?

Under normal workshop conditions, the varnish is touch dry in approximately 15 minutes, can usually be handled after 45–60 minutes and reaches a full ambient cure in 24–48 hours. Heat curing at approximately 80°C can significantly reduce curing time for larger components.

Which colour should I choose?

The choice is generally based on your application or workshop preference rather than electrical performance. Clear varnish maintains the appearance of windings and components, while coloured varnishes provide greater visibility during inspection and are often used to match existing equipment or manufacturing specifications.
