CRYO ADHESIVE EPIFIL-9661



(USED AS AN ADHESIVE FOR THE END FITTING REINFORCEMENT OF POLYIMIDE PIPELINES & AS A MATRIX RESIN FOR THE KEVLAR COMPOSITE OVER WRAP ON LOX FEED POLYIMIDE PIPELINES )

Adhesive EPIFIL-9661 is three part room temperature curing adhesive. Part A is a urethane modified epoxy resin, prepared by the co-reaction of epoxy, polyol and isocyanate. Part-B is a mixture of amine hardeners and Part-C is a Silane Coupling agent.

This adhesive system presently finds different applications such as matrix resin for Aramid (Kevlar) composite over-wrap on Liquid Oxygen (LOX) feed polyimide pipelines , for reinforcing the metallic end fittings made of SS-321 and the fibre glass tape to the LOX and LH2 polyimide pipe lines and as a coating material for glass phenolic composite which perform as a thermal isolator between the mix ratio controller and (MRC)/apparent velocity regulator (AVR) valve and the motor in the cryogenic stages of GSLV.

Salient Features
