[산업/전자]렌즈접착제 Lens Bond Type C-59, MIL-A-392

 

TYPE C-59

This two-component cement can be oven or room temperature cured with equally good results. Type C-59 can be used on government contracts specifying MIL-A-3920 cement and requiring a certificate of compliance.

Approximate Curing Times

	Room Temperature 22°C (72°F)		Oven Temperature 70°C (160°F)
Catalyst Ratio	Pre-Cure	Full-Cure	Pre-Cure	Full-Cure
2:100	24 hours	6 days	45 minutes	2 hours
3:100	18 hours	4 days	30 minutes	1.5 hours
5:100	12 hours	3 days	22 minutes	1 hour
NOTE: Sufficient catalyst is supplied with each bottle of cement. The catalyst ratio shown at the top is recommended as standard. Changes in the ratio shown will alter the curing times shown, i.e., cure rate can be accelerated slightly by increasing the catalyst.

Instructions For Use

1. Preparation of Elements: Other than normal cleaning procedures, no special preparation is required. The best final cleaner is reagent grade or C.P. acetone.

2. Preparation of Cement: Prepare Type C-59 by the addition of catalyst to cement in a clear glass container. Thorough mixing is important. While stirring, hold container up to the light and observe the Schlieren Effect. When the Schlieren Effect disappears, continue mixing for at least 30 seconds. The entrapped air in the cement will surface if the mixture rests at room temperature for a short time, or is briefly subjected to a vacuum of 625mm Hg. (25" Hg.) The catalyst bottles have a specially designed controlled-drop tip, pre- calibrated at our laboratory to an accuracy of ±1%. To use, squeeze the inverted bottle, allowing one drop to fall at a time. For 2:100 mixture, use 2 drops per 3ml. of cement. For 5:100 mixture, use 5 drops per 3ml of cement. (or 8 to 5ml or 40 to 25ml).

N.B. The catalyst bottle supplied with Type C-59 Cement contains more than sufficient catalyst for a 3:100 catalyst:cement ratio.

Safety: Although LENS BOND is quite safe to use, some persons may be sensitive to the chemicals comprising the formulation. For them, the use of finger cots or gloves is recommended. Adequate ventilation should be provided.

3. Application and Curing of Type C-59: Place the prepared LENS BOND on the concave surface, and place the convex surface thereon. Press down firmly and gently until LENS BOND completely wets the matching surfaces. Then, with a slow rotary motion and light pressure, force air bubbles from between the lenses. Excess Cement can be removed with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol or acetone. (Excess solvent will remove cement from between the cemented components.) After pre-cure, holding devices can be removed and the components carefully cleaned. Before environmental testing, however, the lenses must be fully cured.

Full-cure time is in addition to the pre-cure time. If there is no reason to remove holding devices after pre-cure, components should be cured for the total time (pre-cure plus full-cure). If there is any doubt about cure being achieved, allow components to cure for a longer period of time. The Cement will not overcure. If cure is not achieved in a reasonable amount of time, the catalyst ratio, mixing procedure, and temperature should be checked.

Note: If the elements will undergo hostile environmental tests, allow 48 to 72 hours between full-cure and testing.
