RBC #2400 is a filled epoxy adhesive that cures at room temperature and offers excellent adhesion to both porous and non-porous surfaces. When combined with Hardener AB-520, its resistance to solvents, chemicals, and environmental conditions is impressive. Variations in rigidity and resiliency may be obtained by changing hardener ratios. It cures with low exotherm, making it an ideal encapsulant for heat-sensitive parts.
