According to the company, it can withstand chemicals, fuel, and acids, and can survive immersion in 96 to 98 percent sulfuric acid or 20 percent hydrochloric acid for more than a year. The epoxy cures at room temperature with minimal shrinkage, or more rapidly at elevated temperatures. When fully cured, it produces a bond strength greater than 2,200 psi. In addition, it can be thermally cycled over the wide temperature range of -60°F to 400°F.
