TRA-BOND 2151 is a thixotropic, two-part adhesive that
develops strong, durable high-impact bonds at room
temperature, improving heat transfer while maintaining
electrical insulation. TRA-BOND 2151 bonds offer resistance to
salts, mild acids and alkalis, petroleum products, lubricating
oils and alcohol.
TRA-BOND 2151 passes NASA outgassing standards.

GENERAL INFORMATION
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Material Safety Data Sheet, (MSDS).
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Carefully clean and dry all surfaces to be bonded.
2. Remove clamp and thoroughly mix the TRA-BOND 2151
epoxy adhesive system components in the handy BIPAX
mixing-dispenser package until color is uniform
throughout.
3. Apply this completely mixed adhesive to the prepared
surfaces, and gently press these surfaces together.
Contact pressure is adequate for strong, reliable bonds;
however, maintain contact until adhesive is completely
cured.
4. Some separation of components is common during
shipping and storage. For this reason, it is recommended
that the contents of the shipping container be thoroughly
mixed prior to use.
Cure Schedule
24 hours @ 25°C or
2 to 4 hours @ 65°C
TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE
The above cure profile is a guideline recommendation. Cure conditions
(time and temperature) may vary based on customers' experience and
their application requirements, as well as customer curing equipment,
oven loading and actual oven temperatures.
5. Some ingredients in this formulation provided in BIPAX,
TRA-PAX and bulk packaging may crystallize when
subjected to low temperature storage. A gentle warming
cycle of 52ºC for 30 minutes prior to mixing components
may be necessary. Crystallized epoxy components do
not react as well as liquid components and should be
redissolved prior to use for best results.
