RBC-4500 is a fire retardant version of RBC-4400 Resin. It is a medium viscosity, filled, thermally conductive resin which exhibits excellent adhesive properties making it useful for bonding thermally conductive, and heat generating components. It offers excellent chemical resistance and maintains superior bonding over a wide range of operating conditions. It can be cured at room temperature or at elevated temperatures depending upon the properties required.

The above properties are typical of a system cured with Hardener AB-312
AB-56: A fast, room temperature curing system with good chemical and thermal properties.
A-121: A resilient, low viscosity system with slightly longer pot life, that exhibits excellent resistance to thermal shock.
AB-312 : Good resistance to heat, chemicals, thermal and mechanical shock, and good electrical properties at high humidity.
