LENS BOND F-65

LENS BOND Type F-65 was developed for its rapid room temperature cure. With F-65 the engineer can test his systems in a few hours. Type F-65 also saves time in pilot and small production runs, or where curing ovens are not available. Type F-65 meets MIL-A-3920 Standards.

Curing Times

Sufficient catalyst is supplied with the bottle of cement, mixed at a 2:100 ratio or more. Changes of the ratio will alter the curing times, i.e. cure rate can be accelerated by increasing the catalyst.
