About Opti-tec 5020-2 Clear Epoxy Potting Compound

Opti-tec 5020-2 is a clear, two component, low viscosity optical epoxy which will cure in thick sections at room temperature. In thin sections, it is clear and transparent. In thicker sections, it can take a yellow or straw tint. Opti-tec 5020-2 is designed for potting and encapsulation of components where optical clarity, good wetting and low viscosity are important.

Opti-tec 5020-2-B is a black version with similar properties. See Specifications tab for details.

Features & Benefits

  • Available in clear or black versions
  • Degree of flexibility which reduces internal stresses
  • Relatively low level of exotherm during cure making it safe to use with delicate components
  • One hour pot life after mixing and cures within 24 hours at room temperature in thick sections
  • Low viscosity allowing it to fill voids without air entrapment
  • High gloss finish even when cured under high humidity
  • Available in easy-to-use twin packs or bulk

Applications

  • Potting or encapsulation
  • Encapsulation of larger components
  • Optical assembly, optical filters, LEDs
  • Optoelectronics
  • Void filling in cables
