December 18, 2012 - As single-part, phenolic-bonded, graphite-based, and fiber-reinforced adhesive, Graphi-Bond 551-RN may be used to bond, fill, and repair carbon-carbon and graphite components and fixtures used in reducing atmospheres to 5,400°F. Coefficient of thermal expansion, 4.1 ppm x 10^-6/°F, matches most grades of carbon and graphite. After setting at room temperature for 1?2 hr and curing at 265°F for 2?4 hr, material demonstrates moisture resistance and tensile-shear strength in range of 1,100 psi.
