DESCRIPTION
Two-component, 100%-solids epoxy system for Elevated-temperature postcure is recommended for
generalpurpose stress analysis. Transparent, medium maximum stability, and/or tests above room temperature.
viscosity. Cure time as low as six hours at +125°F (+50°C). Highly resistant to moisture and most chemicals,
Recommended for more critical applications, including particularly when postcured. For maximum elongation,
transducers. It has a longer pot life than M-Bond AE-10 bonding surface must be roughened. Cryogenic
which allows more time for multiple gage installations. applications require very thin gluelines.
