5230 Epoxy
Electrically Conductive, Long Pot Life, and Room Temperature Cure
5230 is a silver filled epoxy combining long pot life and room temperature cure. 5230 features a bio-based curing agent. The material is ideal for bonding applications and can be used as a cold solder for delicate, heat sensitive components. 5230 has a volume resistivity of 0.001 ohm-cm and a thermal conductivity of 1.75W/mK. The epoxy is available in bulk kits and premixed and frozen syringes, and meets NASA’s low outgassing requirements.
