M-Bond 200 Catalyst C

M-Bond 200 – Overview

For routine experimental stress analysis applications under temperate environmental conditions,
M-Bond 200 adhesive is ordinarily the best choice. This adhesive is very easy to handle,
and cures almost instantly to produce an essentially creep-free, fatigue-resistant bond,
with elongation capability of five percent or more.

M-Bond 200 is a cyanoacrylate that has been pre-tested and certified for use in bonding strain gages.
It is an excellent general-purpose adhesive for laboratory and short-term field applications.
The procedure for making a strain gage installation with M-Bond 200 is illustrated and described in detail
in Instruction Bulletin B-127 included in each kit of adhesive.
This is the catalyst for use with M-Bond 200 Adhesive.
