Product Description

LOCTITE ABLESTIK 2106T BIPAX is a two-component, solvent-free epoxy adhesive designed for high-strength structural bonding applications. Supplied as a light yellow to orange liquid at a 110:93 resin-to-hardener mix ratio in a BIPAX mixing-dispenser package, it cures at room temperature in 4 to 6 hours or with an accelerated 1-hour cure at 65°C, developing significant handling strength within an hour of mixing. The adhesive is electrically insulating with low shrinkage and chemical resistance, and bonds a wide range of substrates including metals, phenolic plastics, polyester, glass, glass fabrics, ceramics, rubbers, and masonry materials. It supports continuous service from -60°C to 115°C, with intermittent exposure tolerance up to 150°C.

Key features

  • Fast property development: Reaches Shore D 72 hardness within 60 minutes of mixing at 25°C.
  • Electrically insulating: Volume resistivity of 5×10¹¹ ohm-cm at 25°C.
  • Broad substrate compatibility: Bonds metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, rubbers, and masonry materials.

Applications / Suitable for: High-strength structural assembly bonding across metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and masonry/construction materials.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application

Thermal Properties
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.

Electrical Properties
Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
