ÅngströmBond® CrystalBond™ 509 Temporary Mounting and Bonding Adhesive, Rectangular Turquoise Bars, 5 Pack

509-T-R

ÅngströmBond® CrystalBond™ 509 Temporary Mounting and Bonding Adhesive, Rectangular Turquoise Bars, 5 pack tray, 90 grams p/stick (50400-55-R)
ÅngströmBond® CrystalBond™ 509 is a temporary mounting adhesive designed for securing components during dicing, polishing, and other machining processes. This thermoplastic adhesive provides high bond strength to metals, glass, and ceramics. Once processing is complete, 509 can be removed by reheating and is soluble in acetone, leaving no residue.

CrystalBond™ 509 is well-suited for polishing applications, as it minimizes clogging of diamond tools compared to traditional waxes. In thin cross-sections, it becomes transparent, allowing improved visual alignment during processing.

Physical Properties of 509-T-R:

  • Color: Turquoise
  • Description: Thermoplastic Polymer
  • Softening: 70-75°C (158–167°F)
  • Flow Point: 135°C (275°F)
  • Viscosity @ Flow Point: 6,000 cps

Applications of Temporary Bonding Adhesive:

  • Machining advanced ceramics
  • Lapping and polishing optical components
  • Fiber optic connector assembly
  • Dicing ceramic substrates and semiconductor wafers
  • Dicing ferrites, glasses and piezoelectronics
  • Dicing metal and optic crystals
  • Mounting cross-sections for electron microscopy
  • Backfilling components for mechanical support
