ÅngströmBond® AB9320 Clear Heat Cure Epoxy (2.5g Packet)

The ÅngströmBond® AB9320 is a premium, low-stress, heat-cured epoxy engineered specifically for terminating both single-mode and multimode fiber optic connectors. This state-of-the-art adhesive provides a working life more than twice as long as standard multimode termination epoxies, making it excellent for high-yield production environments.

It comes packaged in a pre-measured 2.5-gram burst packet, ensuring perfect mix ratios, maximum bond strength, and zero material waste.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Pot Life: Offers a generous 60 to 90-minute working life—more than double the time of standard alternatives—giving technicians plenty of time for complex multi-connector setups.

• Fiber Protection: Delivers exceptionally strong adhesion to glass, ceramics, metals, and most plastics without causing stressful fiber core cracking.

• Polishing Visibility: Dries with a subtle blue tint, providing high contrast that makes the polishing and inspection process much easier for technicians.

• NASA Low Outgassing: Meets the strict NASA ASTM E595-93 low outgassing standards, making it safe for aerospace, vacuum, and high-reliability optical applications.

• High Thermal Stability: Features a high glass transition temperature ($T_g$) to maintain stable performance during temperature swings.
