AngstromBond Epoxy and Adhesives

Choosing the correct adhesive for an application is critical and quality adhesives offer a wide range of solutions for any requirement. Adhesives are often generalized and end up being used in the wrong application resulting in disastrous effects. One adhesive does not work well in all applications. ÅngströmBond^®, Advanced Polymers for High-Tech Applications, are a type of adhesive specifically designed for use in the fiber optics industry. It is a two-part, room-temperature-curing epoxy that is commonly used for bonding and potting optical components, such as fiber optic connectors, couplers, and isolators. ÅngströmBond has a low viscosity, which allows it to be easily dispensed and provides good wetting of fiber surfaces, ensuring a strong bond. It also has excellent chemical and temperature resistance, as well as good adhesion to a wide range of substrates, including metals, ceramics, and plastics. The name "Ångström" comes from the unit of measurement used to describe the size of wavelengths of light in the electromagnetic spectrum. ÅngströmBond® offers its own line of single and multi-component specialty adhesive systems. Most material can be supplied in easy to use 2-part packets, premixed and frozen syringes or cartridges, jars, vials, quarts, gallons or other specialty packing as required.

The Fiber Optic Center goal is to supply the best possible material for our customers’ application. By using ÅngströmBond^® supplied material, you can minimize the typical adhesive related problems including but not limited to: Defective Epoxy, Wrong Epoxy for the Application, Incorrect Mix Ratio by Packager, Incorrect Mix Ratio by User, Expired Shelf Life, Use Beyond Working Life, Inappropriate Cure Schedule, Inadequate Packaging Affects Chemistry, Improper Storage (temp, light), Incomplete Dispensing into Substrate, Inappropriate or Defective Dispensing Equipment, Improper Cleaning of Epoxy Work Surfaces, Skin Reactions (Dermatitis).
