TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
1. DESCRIPTION:
BD54460 is a two-part, epoxy room
temperature cure adhesive designed for
industrial bonding, small potting and
laminating where excellent strength and
toughness, structural bonding, and
mechanical and electrical properties are
required. This 2-part adhesive cures at
room temperature, exhibits good wetting,
and develops high strength with low
shrinkage. Bonds to most materials
including fiberglass, ceramics, metals and
many plastics. It has great dimensional
stability over a wide range of temperatures.
Fully cured BD54460 is a durable electrical
insulator with resistance to water, weather,
ozone and oxygen, various solvents, fuels,
oils, alcohols, mild acids and alkalis and
many other organic compounds including
diesel fuel and gasoline. It is especially
formulated for a 2:1 mix ratio for use in side
by side cartridges, or to be used by hand
mixing, or use with Meter Mix Equipment.
A handling cure is normally achieved at
room temperature within 120 minutes with
a full cure at room temperature within 24
hours. To accelerate the final cure, or to
quicken the handling simply elevate the
temperature.
