Chemical batch‐to‐batch variations of an acrylonitrile‐modified epoxy potting compound were monitored by infrared spectroscopy and correlated to capacitance and hardness measurements of the cured product before and after exposure to high humidity. The reversion resistance of the cured material was dependent upon the amount of a carbonyl functionality in the uncured potting compound. This relationship is an approach to assess the reversion resistance of these types of potting compounds.
