LOCTITE ABLESTIK 2111

Main features

  • Thixotropic Vertical/Overhead Bonding
  • 24 N/mm^2 Aluminum Lap Shear
  • Glass/Metal/Plastic Substrate Compatibility

Product Description

LOCTITE ABLESTIK 2111 BIPAX is a thixotropic, two-component epoxy adhesive formulated for ease of use, with a non-drip, non-sag rheology suited to vertical and overhead assembly work. Supplied as a hazy white resin and hardener at a 100:30 mix ratio in a BIPAX mixing-dispenser package, this solvent-free system cures at room temperature over 24 hours or faster with an accelerated schedule, and supports continuous service from -70°C to 100°C. It offers good wetting, improved impact strength, and excellent thermal, mechanical shock, and environmental resistance, making it suitable for bonding, laminating, staking, repair, and manufacturing across glass, ceramic, fabric, wood, leather, most metals, and many plastics.

Key features

  • Non-drip, non-sag rheology: Thixotropic formulation with good wetting for vertical and overhead applications.
  • High lap shear strength: 24 N/mm² (3,500 psi) on aluminum-to-aluminum bonds.
  • Broad substrate versatility: Bonds glass, ceramic, fabric, wood, leather, most metals, and many plastics.

Applications / Suitable for: Bonding, laminating, staking, repair, and manufacturing assembly applications across a wide range of substrates.

Refractive index
The refractive index determines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material. It is calculated by taking into account the velocity of light in vacuum compared to the velocity of light in the material. The refractive index calculation can be affected by the wavelength of light and the temperature of the material. Even though it is usually reported on standard wavelengths it is advised to check the TDS for the precise test parameters.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Physical Properties
Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application

Thermal Properties
Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)
The glass transition temperature for organic adhesives is a temperature region where the polymers change from glassy and brittle to soft and rubbery. Increasing the temperature further continues the softening process as the viscosity drops too. Temperatures between the glass transition temperature and below the decomposition point of the adhesive are the best region for bonding. The glass-transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs.

Electrical Properties
Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.
