BJB Enterprises TC-1601-AB

BJB Enterprises TC-1601-AB is an unfilled, low viscosity laminating epoxy resin for variety of fabricating applications. It features the ability tocure at room temperature for applications that do not require a working service temperature above 180°F (82°C). When post cured at elevated temperatures, this system can provide service up to 300°F (149°C).TC-1601is commonly used to reinforce fiberglass, Kevlar/aramid, and carbon fiber fabrics. It is alsoused as an adhesive for bonding wood, composites, and other substrates. Adding fillers like fumed silica, micro-spheres, and short-strand fibers can create pastes for filets, fairings, and bonding applications.
