Opti-tec 5054-1 High Temperature Epoxy Adhesive
pack of 5 from £15.45 (£18.54 inc. VAT)
Opti-tec™ 5054-1 high-temperature epoxy adhesive is a two-component, low viscosity, heat curing epoxy. It is formulated for very high-temperature resistance and can operate up to 350°C for short periods. Its structure gives the material outstanding environmental resistance including superheated steam at 135°C. Opti-tec 5054-1 finds applications in fibre optic terminations where superior thermal and environmental resistance is required. It has passed ISO 10993-5 for medical device applications.
Opti-tec 5054-1 has a thixotropic, high viscosity version – Opti-tec 5054-T.

Opti-tec 5054-1 has a thixotropic, high viscosity version – Opti-tec 5054-T.
- Can withstand high temperature steam autoclaving and operate for short periods up to 350°C
- Very long pot life of 12 hours after mixing
- High surface energy low viscosity allows it to readily wet and wick between optical fibres
- Strong adhesion to most materials used in fibre optics and optics, including metals, ceramics, glass and most plastics
- Low shrinkage on cure, reducing internal stresses within the bond. It is therefore suitable for multiple fibre assemblies
- Excellent impact and thermal shock resistance, with low internal stresses
- High glass transition temperature – excellent high temperature performance and creep resistance
- Very high resistance to moisture, vapours and most chemicals
- Low outgassing and low vapour pressure, making it an ideal sealing material for electronic and optical applications
- Used for Telcordia GR-326-CORE compliant assemblies (General Requirements for Singlemode Optical Connectors and Jumper Assemblies – formerly Bellcore), where its high Tg and environmental robustness allow the termination to meet the specification. Note: optimal cure schedule required
- When cured, is considered non-cytotoxic and meets the requirements of the Elution Test, ISO 10993-5. Further ISO 10993 and USP Class VI qualification pending
