About Opti-tec 5054-1 High Temperature Epoxy Adhesive
Opti-tec™ 5054-1 high-temperature epoxy adhesive is a two-component, low viscosity, heat curing epoxy. It is formulated for very high-temperature resistance and can operate up to 350°C for short periods. Its structure gives the material outstanding environmental resistance including superheated steam at 135°C. Opti-tec 5054-1 finds applications in fibre optic terminations where superior thermal and environmental resistance is required. It has passed ISO 10993-5 for medical device applications.
Opti-tec 5054-1 has a thixotropic, high viscosity version – Opti-tec 5054-T.
Specifications
Part number change: as of version 6.0, April 2021, the part number of this product changed from Opti-tec 5054 to Opti-tec 5054-1. This is due to an unavoidable change in a formulation component. This change does not affect the product data-sheet specifications. The new formulation has passed internal testing and is deemed to be equivalent.
