Epoxy Resin
Tech Optics offers epoxy adhesives for the termination of optical fibre. Two types are available:
- RT153F (Fast Cure) intended as a substitute for the"353" adhesive
- RT156 a versatile product that can be heat cured or allowed to cure at ambient temperature (25ºC) for 24 hours ("overnight")
These materials are available in 2g or 4g sachets with 5 sachets supplied in a foil sealed bag. Epoxy Applicators are available for dispensing epoxy into connectors. Below are listed the most commonly sold epoxies - however we stock a large range and we will source epoxies for any requirements.
