What’s the Difference Between the 5300 Series Epoxies?
Appli-Tec supplies four epoxies in its 5300 series product line. While each material was developed for electronics applications, each one has its own performance characteristics and cure options.
Below is a handy chart to help you choose which material is best suited for your application.
For additional technical specifications, view each material’s TDS. If you’re not sure which material is right for you, please contact us. We’re happy to engage in a conversation to ensure you are using the right adhesive for your application.
