ÅngströmBond® AB9001MT Thixotropic Epoxy, Room Temperature & Heat Cure (2.5g Packet)

ÅngströmBond® AB9001MT is a high-viscosity, thixotropic two-part epoxy specifically designed for MT and MTRJ fiber optic connector assemblies. Its non-sagging formulation allows precise adhesive placement without flowing into unwanted areas, making it ideal for multi-fiber connector termination and other applications requiring controlled epoxy application.

This dark blue epoxy cures at room temperature or with heat and is engineered to produce minimal stress during curing. The low-stress formulation helps prevent fiber cracking and maintains long-term reliability in both single-mode and multimode fiber optic connectors. The blue color also provides excellent visibility during polishing and inspection processes.

Supplied in a convenient 2.5-gram packet for accurate mixing and reduced waste.

Features and Benefits

Designed for MT and MTRJ Connector Assemblies

Optimized for multi-fiber connector termination where precise epoxy placement and low curing stress are essential.

Thixotropic Non-Sag Formula

High viscosity helps keep the adhesive in place during assembly and curing, reducing unwanted flow and migration.

Low-Stress Curing Performance

Helps eliminate fiber cracking and minimizes stress on optical fibers for improved long-term reliability.

Blue Color for Easy Inspection

Provides excellent visual contrast during connector assembly, polishing, and quality inspection.

Excellent Sealing and Encapsulation Properties

Ideal for sealing, potting, and encapsulating small optical and electronic components.

Strong Multi-Substrate Adhesion

Bonds securely to glass, ceramics, metals, and many engineering plastics.

High Environmental Resistance

Offers excellent resistance to impact, moisture, and many industrial chemicals.

Flexible Cure Options

Can be cured at room temperature or accelerated with heat to support various manufacturing processes.
