ÅngströmBond® AB9123EP High Temperature Fiber Optic Epoxy, Heat Cure, 4g Packet
AB9123EP-4G

The ÅngströmBond® AB9123EP is a high-temperature, heat-curing, two-part epoxy adhesive specifically formulated for fiber optic connector termination and precision bonding applications. Designed with an extended working life of 7–8 hours, this low-viscosity epoxy provides excellent processing flexibility while delivering high bond strength to glass, metals, ceramics, and many plastics.

AB9123EP utilizes a proven fiber optic connector epoxy chemistry that combines fast heat cure capability with outstanding thermal and environmental performance. Its high glass transition temperature (Tg) helps meet demanding connector pistoning requirements, while its excellent resistance to temperature cycling and high-humidity environments makes it suitable for telecommunications, datacom, aerospace, defense, and industrial fiber optic applications.

The adhesive cures to a durable reddish-amber color and is supplied in a convenient 4-gram packet for fiber optic connector assembly and repair operations.
