Catalyst 23 LV

Catalyst 23LV is an amber, low-viscosity, modified aliphatic amine hardener specifically engineered to enhance the potting and encapsulation of sensitive electronic components. Its ultra-low viscosity of just 15 mPa·s ensures exceptional flow and penetration, making it an ideal choice for complex assemblies with tight tolerances. This catalyst provides superior adhesion to glass and its ability to withstand significant thermal shock, maintaining the structural integrity of the resin across a continuous operating temperature range of -65°C to +105°C.

Formulated for versatility and ease of use, LOCTITE CAT 23LV offers a 60-minute pot life, providing ample time for degassing and precision application in high-volume production environments. It features a flexible curing profile that can be adapted to specific manufacturing needs, achieving a full cure in 16 to 24 hours at room temperature or in just 4 hours at 65°C. By combining low colour and high-performance adhesion with excellent thermal stability, this hardener provides a reliable and durable protective barrier for a wide variety of Henkel epoxy resin systems.
