Tra-Con Tra-Bond F109CLR Fiber Optic Epoxy Adhesive

TRA-BOND F109CLR is a clear, low viscosity epoxy specially designed for terminating plastic fibers. This blush free epoxy is an excellent choice for high humidity environments where absolute clarity is essential. This two-part system remains at a constant viscosity for a minimum of 50 minutes. This allows more connectors to be produced from a single lot. It is a very high strength adhesive that will not distort plastic fibers. TRA-BOND F109CLR can be cured at room temperature overnight or as fast as 20 minutes at 65°C. This 100% solid system can be used for small potting and sealing applications where thermal shock and impact resistance are required. Fully cured TRA-BOND F109CLR provides excellent resistance to salt solutions, mild acids, alkalis and many other chemicals including petroleum solvents and alcohol. TRA-BOND F109CLR can be supplied in a wide variety of packages including 2 gram (or large) BIPAX kits, pre-mixed and frozen syringes and 1 gram MINPAX. Sufficient cure is developed for polishing connectors in 20 minutes at 65°C. TRA-BOND F109CLR will complete its cure at room temperature with no pistoning.Information provided by Tra-Con Inc.
