Epo-tek Fiber Optic Epoxy 353nd - 1lb Volume, Amber Color | High-temperature Two-component Adhesive For Semiconductor And Medical Applications, 10:1 Mixing Ratio, Long Pot Life

1. Epotek 353ND is a two-component, high-temperature epoxy designed for semiconductor, hybrid, fiber optic, and medical applications. It is one of the most popular EPO-TEKAR brand products known worldwide for its performance and reliability. It is also available in a single-component frozen syringe.

2. Storage of 353ND Epoxy, EPO-TEK 353ND Part A & B requires storage at room temperature when not mixed, without refrigeration. If stored below 0A C, it must be warmed at room temperature for at least 3-4 hours before A & B mixing to prevent moisture from generating in the epoxy and to avoid bubbles during solidification.

3. Fiber optic EPO-TEK 353ND Part A & B mixing process: As 353ND Part A & B is packed in 4g A-Pack plastic bags, A & B components have been divided according to proportion. Squeeze the bag vigorously from the end of component A to allow the resin to move towards the seal of component B. Press hard so that the resin can break through the interlayer. Then fix the end of the plastic bag and run the resin from beginning to end until components A and B are completely mixed. Cut the end of the plastic bag and extrude the mixed 353ND for application. If packaging is in large-volume packaging (such as tin cans, plastic bottles, or glass bottles), shake parts A and B separately, then mix 10 parts of Part A with 1 part of Part B in glassware and mix well. If a large amount of bubbles are found after mixing, go through the defoaming procedure before application. There are two types of deaeration methods: vacuum deaeration and centrifugal deaeration.

4. Fiber optic epoxy 353ND can be used within 4 hours after mixing (Pot Life), and the amount used should be controlled to optimize resin technology performance. Epoxy Technology Inc. recommends that the dosage should not exceed 25g each time. The curing time and temperature data for user reference: 60A C for 1.5 hours, 80A C for 15 minutes, 100A C for 5 minutes, 120A C for 2 minutes, and curing at 150A C for 1 minute. Curing starts at 200 seconds for the first 10 seconds. Additional curing temperature and time provided above are for reference only. It is recommended not to cure at a temperature above 150A C.

Application:

1) Epo-tek 353ND Epoxy is a two-component epoxy resin with a solid content of 100%, resistant to dissolution and erosion by various solvents and chemicals. It is an ideal adhesive for optical fiber, metal, glass, ceramics, and most plastics.
2) Unique characteristics of epo-tek 353ND: Long operation time, easy to penetrate into optical fiber bundles, amber becomes dark red during curing, helping to determine full cure through color rather than time, low skin allergy.
3) EPO-TEK 353ND is suitable for use in thin films and slightly thick films. For thicker applications, it is best to gel at room temperature and slightly above, then increase the temperature and solidify in a short time.
