Omega Products OB-200 Installation Manual

General Description

OMEGABOND®200 is a black, high temperature, high
thermal conductivity, two-part epoxy system which will
bond temperature sensors to most materials, including
metals, glass, ceramics and most plastics. It is recommended
for bonding of “Cement-On” and beaded wire
thermocouples for accuracy, and fast temperature
measurement to 260°C (500°F). The epoxy system cures at
elevated temperatures. Cure time varies from 8 hours at 250°
F to 2 hours at 400°F. It has excellent strength and electrical
insulating characteristics. Its thixotropic paste consistency
virtually ensures freedom from sag during cure when
applied to vertical surfaces.

OMEGABOND®200 is mixed 100 parts resin to 10 parts
catalyst by weight, and is supplied in 2-ounce “Twin Paks” to
ensure proper formulating. A one-pound kit is also available.

Handling

Directions for Use

OMEGABOND®200 requires a special catalyst because of its
high temperature rating. Catalyst OB-200 may be solid at
room temperature. When warmed to about 150°F (65°C), it
will become a liquid.

1. When supplied in can kits. OMEGABOND®200 is mixed
100 parts of OB-200 Resin to 10 parts of OB-200 Catalyst by
weight. Blend the two parts thoroughly to a uniform
consistency. Pot-life is at least 24 hours at room
temperature (75°F, 24°C).

When supplied in “Twin Paks,” first warm the pouch to
approximately 150°F in warm water or an oven. Then
remove the divider, mix the two components in the pouch
until they are uniform in texture and color. Then simply
snip off a comer of the pouch and dispense.

2. Clean surfaces to be bonded. It is recommended wherever
possible that the surfaces be abraded with emery cloth. A
final cleaning with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or toluene
is desirable.

3. Apply the blended OMEGABOND®200 to both surfaces
bring them together, squeezing out the excess. Keeping the
epoxy layer as thin as possible will increase the response
time. No pressure is needed. However, both surfaces
should remain in contact.

4. Cure is at any one of the following schedules:
8 hours at 250°F (121°C)
6 hours at 300°F (149°C)
3 hours at 350°F (177°C)
2 hours at 400°F (204°C)

we assume legal responsibility nor as permission or
recommendation to practice any patented invention
without license. It is offered for consideration,
investigation, and verification.
