Product Description
ENTHONE Catalyst 77 is an adhesion-promoting catalyst component for ENTHONE M-Series and 50-Series epoxy marking inks. It supports room-temperature or heat cure, with an average catalyzed-ink pot life of 1 hour after induction. At room temperature, the ink cures in 5 to 7 days; maximum adhesion is achieved with heat cure at 65.6 to 93.3 deg C. Catalyst 77 is used within matched ENTHONE ink systems for permanent markings on semiconductor components, printed circuit boards, connectors, dials, glass, metal, and thermosetting plastics.
Key features
- Ambient or Heat Cure: Catalyst 77 supports room-temperature processing or controlled thermal cure.
- One-Hour Pot Life: The catalyzed ink has an average 1-hour working pot life after induction.
- Adhesion-Promoting Cure: Heat cure at 65.6 to 93.3 deg C develops maximum adhesion in the matched ink system.
Applications / Suitable for
- ENTHONE M-Series epoxy marking inks
- ENTHONE 50-Series epoxy marking inks
- Permanent semiconductor and circuit-board marking systems
