Thermal Shock Clear Epoxy for Fiber Optics, Glass, Prisms & Lenses F113, 2.5gm

Description

Technical Product Bulletin
HIGH IMPACT OPTICALLY CLEAR EPOXY ADHESIVE
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
AA-BOND F113
is an Optically Clear, low viscosity , High impact epoxy adhesives developed for bonding and small volume potting of plastic or glass optical fibers,
lenses and prisms, LED displays,
and other optical components.
AA-BOND F113
is recommended for laminating, bonding, and sealing applications where excellent wetting, good pot life and improved impact strength properties are
required.
AA-BOND F113
is two parts adhesive easily mixed and cured at room temperature and develops strong bond to glass and glass fibers, ceramics, many metals and most
rigid plastics.
AA-BOND F113
bonds offer resistance to mechanical impact and thermal shock, and is also resistant to weather, water, gases and vapors, petroleum products, and mild
acids and alkalis.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS).
HOW TO USE:
1)
Carefully clean and dry all surfaces to be bonded.
2)
Apply AA-BOND F113 completely mixed adhesive to the prepared surfaces, and gently press these surfaces together. Contact pressure is adequate for strong, reliable bonds; however, maintain contact until adhesive is completely cured.
3)
Some separation of components is common during shipping and storage. For this reason, it is recommended that the contents of the shipping container be thoroughly mixed prior to use.
4)
Some ingredients in this formulation provided may crystallize when subjected to low temperature storage. A gentle warming cycle of 52°C for 30 minutes prior to mixing components may be necessary. Crystallized epoxy components do not react as well as liquid components and should be re-dissolved prior to use for best results.
AVAILABILITY:
This epoxy can be supplied in various different packages.
