Opti-tec Resin Epoxy Heat Curing OPT-5053-F-B

Opti-tec 5053-F-B is a two-component, low viscosity, heat curing epoxy designed for high-temperature applications. It is especially well suited to fibre optic terminating, where optical fibres are "pot and polished" into connectors or ferrules

• High surface energy and low viscosity allows it to readily wet and wick between optical fibres. It develops strong adhesion to most materials used in fibre optics and optics, including metals, ceramics, glass and most plastics.
• High glass transition temperature results in excellent high temperature performance and creep resistance
• Resists moisture, vapours and most chemicals. It features low outgassing and low vapour pressure, making it an ideal sealing material for electronic and optical applications.
• Colour change upon cure, going from clear to deep translucent red.
• Specially formulated to have very low skin sensitivity
• Long pot life and good handling characteristics
• Used for Telcordia GR-326-CORE compliant assemblies (General Requirements for Singlemode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies - formerly Bellcore), where its high Tg and environmental robustness allow the termination to meet the specification
• Note: optimal cure schedule required
