TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
1. DESCRIPTION:
BD5430 is a two-part, unfilled room
temperature cure, epoxy adhesive designed
for bonding of metals, ceramics, and most
plastics. It cures to a tough semi-rigid
material, and is free flowing in viscosity. It
gives good resistance to water, salt spray,
inorganic acids and bases, and most
organic solvents. It is especially
formulated for a 1:1 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 240 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.

3. Handling and Storage:
A. Bring both components to room temperature prior to
mixing. Mix 1 part A to 1 part B thoroughly for 30 to
60 seconds.
B. Dispense mixed material over properly positioned
devices to be glued together. Do not pour more than
1/2 thick as the product may exotherm too high and
may boil. As this is a very quick adhesive, you must
work quickly to bond the pieces together.
C. Parts may be shipped within 24 hours but parts can
be moved in 1 hour.
