LC-E224
175 Degree Curing Flame Retardant Epoxy Film Adhesive

Description

LC-E224 is a 175⁰F (79⁰C) toughened, high peel, flame retardant epoxy film adhesive specifically designed for bonding structural materials, metals, composites, etc. to various core materials while maintaining excellent peel strength.

Advantages

LC-E224 demonstrates excellent adhesion and toughness using press, vacuum bag or autoclave processing. The wide range of cure cycles allows LC-E224 to exhibit higher elongation thus increased compatibility with numerous composite materials. This system also allows the user to manufacture parts while using lower cost tooling due to the lower temperature cure. LC-E224 can also be supplied both supported and unsupported in multiple weights and thicknesses.

Processing/Cure Cycle Recommendations

LC-E224 can be processed at temperatures from 175⁰F. (79⁰C.) for 360 minutes to 250⁰F. (121⁰C.) for 60 minutes using low, medium or high pressure. A 175⁰F (79⁰C) cure for 360 minutes is optimal in most cases using press, vacuum bag or autoclave processing with 25 psi pressure.
