Technical Data Sheet

60 Minute Conductive Epoxy

TDS CW2460

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The 60 Minute Conductive Epoxy is a two part,
silver epoxy used in prototype, repair and
general solder-less conductive bonding
applications. It features strong mechanical
bonds, excellent electrical conductivity, and
extended pot life for increased work time.
Components can be easily placed and replaced
before full cure occurs. For accelerated cure,
simply heat material to 212˚F (100˚C). This
conductive epoxy bonds aggressively to a wide
variety of materials.

 Two-component product with simple mixing

ratios

 60 minute work time offers increased

workability and extended pot life

 Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity
 High strength bond adheres dissimilar

surfaces

 Operating temperature range from

-67°F (-55°C) to 300°F (150°C)

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

60 Minute Conductive Epoxy may be used for
electronics applications including:

 Conductive Bonds Between Heat Sensitive

Components

 Solderless Surface Mount Connections
 Circuit Board Trace Repair
 Static Discharge and Grounding
 Solder Repair
 Conductive Structural Adhesions

60 Minute Conductive Epoxy is generally
compatible with most materials used in printed
circuit board fabrication. As with any
adhesive/sealant, compatibility with substrate
should be determined on a non-critical area prior to
use.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Read MSDS carefully prior to use.

Cleaning: For best results, clean the board prior to

application with a Chemtronics ControlWipe
and Chemtronics Electro-Wash PX to remove any
surface contaminatio n which may prevent adequate
material contact.

Mixing: Mix equal amounts (1:1) by weight or
volume of Part A and Part B. Mix thoroughly for 2­3 minutes and apply within 1-2 hours.

Thinning: Do not attempt to thin.

Curing: Curing times and electrical conductivity

depend primarily on temperature. For fastest curing
times, maximum conductivity and adhesion, cure
the bond at 175°F to 212°F (80 to 100°C) for 1 0-15
minutes. It can be room temperature cured at or
above 77°F (25°C) for 24 hours. Maximum
conductivity and bond strength are achieved in 36
hours. Curing at temperatures below 77°F

(25°C) will result in a loss of conductivity and
adhesion.

Pot Life: 1-2 hours at 20-25°C after mixing (3-5
gram mass).

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT DATA

Ozone depletion potential (ODP) is determined in accordance with the
Montreal Protocol and U.S. Clean Air Act of 1990.
Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are regulated under the Montreal
Protocol as C lass II ozone depleting sub sta nces. Volati le Organi c Com poun d
(VOC) information is calculated on a weight basis using the VOC definition
of California Air Resources Boa rd (CARB) Consumer Product Regula tions,
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Rule 102 and the
Federal definition published in 40 CFR 51.100(s). Hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs) are not currently regulated.
