LOCTITE® EA 0151 Epoxy is a general purpose, ultra clear, thixotropic paste adhesive and multiple surface structural adhesivewith a 50-minute worklife. Allows for extended adjustment time. Adhesive for fiber optic components.
LOCTITE® EA 0151 is a clear two-component epoxy having
optical clarity when used in small quantities LOCTITE® EA 0151
is easy to mix and has a long pot life.

Handling

Mixing: This product requires mixing two components together
just prior to application. Complete mixing is necessary. The
temperature of the separate components prior to mixing is not
critical, but they should be close to room temperature

Application

Mixing - Bulk: Combine Part A (resin) and Part B (hardener) in
the correct ratio and mix thoroughly until the color and
consistency are uniform. EPOXI-PATCH® Tube Kits have been
designed so that squeezing EQUAL LENGTH BEADS of Part A
& Part B will give proper ratio. Ratios given above can be used
for measuring larger amounts. Mixing the adhesive just prior to
use is recommended. Heat buildup during or after mixing is
normal. Do not mix quantities greater than two pounds as
dangerous heat buildup can occur causing uncontrolled
decomposition of the mixed adhesive. Mixing smaller quantities
will minimize the heat buildup.

Mixing - Cartridges: Place cartridge in proper dispenser. To
begin using a new cartridge, remove cartridge cap and dispense
a small amount of adhesive, making sure both Parts A & B are
extruding. Attach nozzle and dispense approximately 1-2"
before applying onto the part to be bonded. Partially used
cartridges can be stored with the mixing nozzle attached. To
reuse, remove and discard the old nozzle, attach the new nozzle,
and begin dispensing.

Application: Bonding surfaces should be clean and dry. Once
the adhesive is applied, the bonded parts should be held in
contact until the part has developed handling strength. It is not
necessary to clamp the parts unless movement during cure is
likely.

Cure: Complete cure is obtained after three days at room
temperature. After 24 hours, approximately 90% of full cure
properties are attained. Hysol 0151 will achieve handling
strength in 6-8 hours at 77°F (note: this can vary with different
bond configurations). Hysol 0151 can also be completely cured
with heat such as: 2 hours at 140°F; 1 hour at 180°F; or 30
minutes at 250°F. Heat cures can be modified to achieve a
desired degree of cure from handling strength to full cure.

Clean Up: It is important to remove excess adhesive from the
work area and application equipment before it hardens. Many
common solvents and citrus cleaners are suitable for removing
uncured adhesive. Consult with your supplier's information
pertaining to the safe and proper use of solvents.

Storage

Store product in unopened container in a cool dry location. Ideal
conditions are within the range 8 to 21 degrees C (46 to 70
degrees F) and are recommended for long term storage.
Exposure to higher temperatures (greater than 28 degrees C) for
prolonged periods should be avoided as extended exposure to
warm conditions can adversely affect product properties. For
further specific shelf life information, contact your local Technical
Service Center.
