1. Product Overview

LOCTITE STYCAST ES 1904 is a two-component, opaque epoxy resin designed for potting and encapsulating applications. It offers excellent structural, mechanical, and electrical properties with good wetting and low shrinkage. It cures at room temperature and forms strong bonds with various materials, including optical fibers, glass ceramics, and metals. The adhesive maintains dimensional stability over a temperature range of -60°C to +125°C.

2. Applications

  • Potting and encapsulating
  • Laminating small applications
  • Structural bonding requiring strong mechanical and electrical properties
  • Bonding optical fibers, glass ceramics, and most metals
