AB202 Fast-Cure Field Termination Adhesive - High Reliability
- Anaerobic adhesives are popular for the field termination of fibre optic connectors without heat. However, anaerobic adhesives will only cure if there is contact with the primer and an absence of oxygen so there is a small risk of uncured adhesive when using such systems
- AB202 is a fast curing adhesive but it is not anaerobic so it will cure on its own over time even if it does not make contact with the primer. This makes the adhesive attractive in higher reliability applications (the US Navy has allowed its use)
- Cures in approximately 2-3 minutes at room temperature
- The adhesive is first injected into the connector
- The fibre is then dipped into the primer just before insertion into the connector
- No mixing is required
- Black colour aids visibility
- The adhesive is supplied in a 20ml bottle and the primer in a separate bottle. Extra primer can be ordered separately
