RBC-6100 is a pure silver filled, electrically conductive epoxy resin. It is designed for applications requiring conductive electrical connections when it is impractical to use conventional soldering techniques. RBC #6100 is a 100% solids system offering excellent adhesion to metal, glass, ceramics and plastic substrates. It can be combined with a variety of hardeners to provide various working times and cured characteristics.

(Note: The above properties are typical of a system cured with hardener #A-150.) 

RECOMMENDED HARDENERS:

A-150: A rigid, room temperature curing system with limited pot life and fast cure.

A-115: A resilient, low viscosity system with slightly longer pot life, that exhibits excellent resistance to thermal shock.

B-130: Good resistance to heat, chemicals, thermal and mechanical shock, and good electrical properties at high humidity.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

Weigh the desired amount of #6100 Resin into a clean container and combine with recommended hardener in one of the ratios shown below
