RBC-2365

Industrial

RBC #2365 is a thixotropic version of RBC#2360.  RBC#2365  is a non-sag adhesive.  It exhibits high peel strength, excellent shock and vibration resistance.  Cured properties can be varied with the amount of hardener used, allowing a wide range of resiliency.  It is ideal for bonding materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion.  RBC#2365 bonds well to nickel, aluminum, nylon, polypropylene, glass and wood.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Weigh the desired amount of #2365 Resin into a clean container and combine with AB-528 Hardener in one of the ratios shown below.  Mix thoroughly for a minimum of three minutes by hand, or one minute by machine.

Semi-Flexible, Impact and Shock Resistant: 100 parts RBC #2365, 100 parts Hardener AB-528

Flexible, Excellent Peel Strength: 100 parts RBC #2365, 132 parts Hardener AB-528

RECOMMENDED CURE STRENGTH:

Pot life ranges from 1 – 2 hours depending on batch size and hardener ratio.  Cure for 72 hours at room temperature (25oC) or 2 hours at 65oC.  For optimum properties, cure 1 hour at 65oC followed by 1 hour at 120oC.
