High Temperature Adhesives, Fast Cure Epoxy, Low Viscosity, Fiber Optic, Connectors, Small Potting & Sealing Applications 2 Part F123BK, 250gm

- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: AA-BOND F123BK is a low viscosity, two-component epoxy formulation that signals both proper mixing and curing when bonding fiber optic bundles, potting glass fibers, and/or terminating single or multi-channel fiber optic connectors. It exhibits good wicking, and develops strong, tough, mechanically stable bonds to a wide variety of fiber optic and optical materials that includes most metals, ceramics, glass and many plastics. AA-BOND F123BK has good impact and thermal shock resistance, and yields excellent low stress, pot-and-polish connections which do not piston during cycle tests. It is also resistant to water and weathering, vapors and gases, most petroleum products, and an extended range of organic and inorganic environments. Shorter cures at higher temperatures (e.g. 2 minutes at 120°C or 1 minute at 150°C) are also possible. An additional post-cure of 30 minutes at 150°C is recommended when application temperatures higher than 150°C are anticipated. - GENERAL PROPERTIES: • Color: Black • Components: 2 component - requires mixing • Mix Ratio by weight: 100:10 / Resin:Hardener • Benefits: o Low viscosity o Thermal shock and impact resistant o Low stress connections • Cure Type: Room temperature or Heat Cure • Operating Temperature: -60 to 175 °C • Typical Applications: Fiber optic assembly, multimode and single mode connectors, small potting and sealing applications. - UNCURED PROPERTIES: • Viscosity @ 25 °C : 2100 • Specific Gravity: 1.19 • Pot Life: 2 hours - CURE SCHEDULE: • 24 hours @ 25°C • 5 minutes @ 100°C - CURED PROPERTIES: • Glass Transition (Tg), ultimate, °C: 120 • Hardness, Shore D: 85 • Refractive Index: 1.54 • Tensile Shear, alum to alum, psi: 2800 - GENERAL INFORMATION: For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS). - AVAILABILITY: This epoxy can be supplied in various different packages.
