Tra-Con Tra-Bond F253M Color Keyed High Temperature Epoxy Adhesive

TRA-BOND F253M is a low viscosity, high temperature, two-part epoxy formulation that changes color during the curing process to indicate cure status. The unmixed components are light yellow; the mixture is green/blue; and the fully cured adhesive is reddish-amber. It is specially designed to meet strict low moisture absorption requirements and exhibits minimal fiber creep. It exhibits excellent 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. In addition, TRA-BOND F253M has good impact and thermal shock resistance, demonstrates low stress, and yields excellent pot and polish connections. It is also resistant to water and weathering, vapors and gases, most petroleum products, and an extended range of organic and inorganic environments. Information provided by Tra-Con Inc.
