EPO-TEK® 360 Low Viscosity Epoxy, Heat Cure (8oz)

The EPO-TEK^® 360 Low Viscosity, Optical Epoxy is a two-component, high-temperature grade epoxy is designed for semiconductor, electronics, and fiber optics applications. Recommended Cure: 150°C (302°F) for 1 Hour. Available in 8 oz kit.

Features:

• Pot Life: 6 hours
• Built-in color change from clear to amber when fully cured, enabling in-line inspection of joints and fillets
• Unfilled epoxy resin allows for % transmission in the VIS and NIR to be realized.
• Low viscosity allows for wicking and capillary action

Applications:

• Semiconductor: Capillary-flow underfill for flip-chip mounted die
• Fiber Optic:
  • Polarization-maintaining fibers (PMF) used in gyroscope coils
  • Fiber termination into ferrules
• Electronics: Impregnates copper coil windings in motors or SMD inductor coils and provides strong adhesion to ferrite cores.
