Air Set Cements set or cure through
loss of moisture by evaporation.
Atmospheric conditions therefore
affect the drying rate. Air Set
Cements are used mainly in thin film
applications (applied in thicknesses
less than 1⁄4")*.

Selection Criteria
for Cements
1. Type of Application—
Potting, sealing, encapsulating,
assembling, bonding. Is a thick or
thin film of cement required?
This dictates whether or not an
air set or a chemical set cement
should be used.
2. Thermal Considerations—
What is the maximum
temperature that the cement
must withstand? What degree of
thermal conductivity is needed?
What degree of thermal
expansion is allowed? These
parameters are then matched
to the appropriate cement.

Powder
3. Substrate—What materials will
the cement be in contact with?
4. Application Considerations—Pot
life, set time, method of dispensing,
batch size, cure procedure.

Chemical set cements are also available. See OMEGABOND®600, OMEGABOND®700 and CC high temperature cement. These cements set

or cure by an internal chemical action which does not require exposure to air. They can be used in thick applications (greater than 1⁄4" thickness).
Porous substrates may require dampening with thinning liquid before application of mixed cement. For OMEGABOND®300 and OMEGABOND
