Versatile Epoxy Systems<br />
EPOXICURE <br />
General Purpose Epoxide<br />
Low Viscosity Epoxy<br />
EPO-THIN ®<br />
• Excellent adhesion results in good<br />
edge protection<br />
• Low cure temperature, 82°F (28°C),<br />
for heat sensitive samples<br />
• Good flow characteristics<br />
• Low shrinkage and hard mounts<br />
• Transparent<br />
• Solvent resistant<br />
• 6-8 hour cure time<br />
EPO-KWICK ®<br />
Fast Cure Epoxy<br />
• Air cure in 45 minutes using<br />
SAMPL-KUPS ®<br />
• Good flow characteristics<br />
• Good edge protection and<br />
hard mounts<br />
• Transparent<br />
• 185°F (85°C) cure temperature<br />
EPO-MIX ® Epoxide<br />
• Premeasured, read-to-mix one<br />
ounce portions of EPOXICURE <br />
General Purpose Epoxide<br />
• Same characteristics as<br />
EPOXICURE <br />
• Free-flowing, specially formulated<br />
epoxy that fills holes and voids<br />
where other mounting materials fail<br />
• Produces clear, bubble-free mounts,<br />
allowing full view of the embedded<br />
sample<br />
• Low cure temperature, 80°F (27°C)<br />
• 18-20 hour cure time means low<br />
skrinkage<br />
• Ideal as a thin section mounting<br />
adhesive<br />
EPO-COLOR <br />
Dye Enhanced Epoxy<br />
• Used to highlight pores and cracks<br />
which are difficult to distinguish from<br />
base material<br />
• Appears bright red under darkfield<br />
or polarized light. No fluorescent<br />
light required<br />
• 1-2 hour cure<br />
• 175°F (79°C) cure temperature<br />
Note: Adding FLUOR-MET ® Fluorescent Dye to all<br />
epoxy systems, except EPO-COLOR, is another<br />
alternative to make identification of pores and<br />
cracks very easy. Requires fluorescent light<br />
capability on your microscope.<br />
EPOXICURE <br />
has low<br />
shrinkage and<br />
hard mounts<br />
EPO-THIN ®<br />
is free flowing<br />
for filling small<br />
holes and voids<br />
EPO-KWICK ®<br />
cures in 30-45<br />
minutes<br />
EPO-COLOR <br />
appears bright<br />
red under<br />
darkfield or<br />
polarized light
