quick cure epoxies?
(OP)
Hi Folks:
I am looking for a high strength, quick curing, non conductive potting epoxy.
The application involves filling a void that exists when a metal hollow cylindrical tube is placed concentrically over medium voltage cable. The void ends up needing about 250 ml of fluid.
Ideally, the epoxy should be able to be applied using a caulking gun and should be able to cure within 10 minutes with the application of ~100-150F heat. Again, in an ideal world, it will not be very brittle upon curing (not terribly important).
From what I've seen, the kinetics of Snap-curing adhesives cannot be mixed in batches larger than 5 grams usually, because a runaway exothermic reaction is common.
You guys know of anything out there???
Thanks,
LBTaurus

Here is an epoxy also from Loctite/ Hysol that can be gun dispensed and meets your cure time criteria.

I think I'd be looking for something a little more compliant like a pourable silicone, although silicones bring their own set of problems.
