EPO-TEK® HYB-353ND-TX2 High Temperature Epoxy, Hybrid Heat & UV Cure - Pre-Mixed and Frozen (3cc Syringe)

The EPO-TEK^® HYB-353ND-TX2 UV Hybrid Epoxy is a single-component, high-temperature hybrid epoxy designed for semiconductor, fiber optic, and medical applications. It offers cured performance similar to EPO-TEK 353ND, but is modified for initial UV (ultraviolet)  tacking and features higher thixotropy than HYB-353ND. Available in a 3 cc automatic syringe.

Recommended Cure: UV tack at 100 mW/cm² for 10 seconds @ 240–365 nm, followed by a 150°C (302°F), 30-minute thermal cure.

Features of HYB-353ND-TX2:

• Supports active alignment of lenses, diodes, and optical components
