Electron Microscopy Sciences Epofix

Electron Microscopy Sciences A two component epoxy resin, characterized by negligible shrinkage during curing and good mechanical properties in its hardened state. It is particularly suited for embedding hard samples of complicated shape and for vacuum impregnation. Samples such as paper, silicon, ceramics, metals, wafers, and chips are suitable to be used with epo-fix. It has low viscosity, low vapour pressure, good wetting properties, and minimal shrinkage. It hardens at room temperature without significant generation of heat in approximately 8 hours (no damage from heat or pressure), and at increased temperatures, 60 degree c, the hardening time is reduced to 2 hours. It should be noted that if you place epo-fix in a desiccator during curing you will eliminate any air bubbles. - EMS (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
