Fibre Optic and Optical
Epoxies, Potting Compounds,
Optical Adhesives and Materials

Description
Opti-tec™ Fibre Optic and Optical Epoxies are a range of two-part epoxy systems and other optical materials which have been specially designed for applications in the growing optics industry. They feature superior performance in applications such as fibre optic terminating, and optical assembly and potting. Some are suitable for use in disposable medical devices. Adhesives for glass bonding or bonding where transparency is important. Optical processing materials and clear silicone and polyurethane encapsulants.

Applications

• Fibre optic terminating
• Plastic fibre optics
• Endoscope manufacture and repair
• Potting or encapsulation where high optical clarity is required: thin rock sections, geology samples, relics and artifacts, tissue samples
• Optical assembly, optical filters
• Optoelectronics
• Void filling in cables
• Glass bonding
• Optical potting & bonding
• Medical device assembly
• High temperature, high performance bonding
• Electronic sealing
• Polishing, lapping & grinding
• Temporary bonding
