Introduction
The use of resin first requires curing it under specific conditions that vary depending on the product
specification. During this curing process, chemical reactions occur and volatiles evaporate, and so the
resin shrinks. This can cause defects, strength reduction, and the deformation of the finished parts or
products, especially in high precision required applications.
The conventional method which measures the shrinkage of resin based on specific gravity requires
long measurement time and an amount of resin about a few cubic centimetres. This sample size is
larger than what is actually used in many applications such as the epoxy encapsulation compounds
for integrated circuits, resin coating or adhesive for electronic devices. In order to improve the quality
control and further promote the technical advancement of high precision production, a convenient and
high accuracy method for determining the shrinkage of resin is essential.
A totally new measurement method has been developed to meet this demand, allowing to measure
curing shrinkage continuously with just a trace amount of resin. Moreover, since measurements are
taken continuously, the curing behaviour of resin such as thermal expansion and thermal contraction
are also observed. This measurement method is described in this document.

of shrinkage by continuous measurement method
SAFETY STATEMENT — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory
practice, if applicable. This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if
any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety
and health practices.
1 Scope
This document specifies the continuous measurement method of shrinkage for thermosetting resin
and/or UV curable resin.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 472 and the following apply.

3.1
UV curable resin
resin which is cured by receiving energy from UV rays
3.2
thermosetting resin
resin which is cured by receiving energy from heat
3.3
curing condition
UV irradiation and/or heating condition for curing resin
3.4
curing shrinkage
ratio of the change in resin volume due to curing process to the resin volume before curing
Note 1 to entry: Percentage of shrinkage due to curing of resin.
4 Principle
Cure the resin inside a sample container and continuously measure the changes of sample thickness.
Since the horizontal cross-sectional area of resin sample remains constant due to the sidewalls of
the sample container, the changes in sample volume are proportional to the changes in the sample

thickness. Therefore, shrinkage of resin is calculated from the changes in sample thickness, as shown in
Formula (1).
A = ( T – T ) / T × 100 (1)
1 2 1
Where
A is the shrinkage, in %;
T is the initial sample thickness;
1
T is the sample thickness at an arbitrary time.

In addition to the determination of the curing shrinkage, this continuous measurement technique
also allows to see the volumetric changing behaviour of a resin at the time it is being irradiated by UV,
heated, or cooled during the curing process.
NOTE 1 Typically, upon irradiation by UV rays, UV curable resins expand immediately then contract as curing
proceeds (see Figure 1). However, some types of UV curable resin exhibit fast reactions wherein shrinkage starts
immediately right after irradiation (see Figure B.1).
NOTE 2 When a thermosetting resin undergoes heating, thermal expansion occurs due to the increase in the
resin temperature. This expansion continues as the temperature rises. When the curing temperature is reached,
the curing begins and the resin starts to contract. This shrinkage continues until the resin is fully cured and
returned to room temperature (see Figure 2).
