- Mix and cure in the field.
- Optics
- Active alignment of optics such as lenses, prisms, diodes, filters, etc. to opto-circuit
- Fiber Optics
- “field curing” or field assembly of connectors and couplers
- Also suggested for fiber optic splicing
- Medical
- Adhesion to most metals, plastics, ceramics, and glasses found in tubing, substrates or housing.
- Instructions for Use
To use simply insert the cartridge into the application gun and start the plunger into the cylinders using light pressure on the trigger. Next, remove the cartridge cap and expel a small amount of adhesive to be sure both sides are flowing evenly and freely. If automatic mixing of resin and hardener is desired, attach the mixing nozzle to the end of the cartridge and begin dispensing the adhesive. For hand mixing, expel the desired amount of the adhesive and mix thoroughly. Mix approximately 15 seconds after uniform color is obtained.
