6110-A/B
Optoelectronic Encapsulant
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
APTEK 6110-A/B is a two component, unfilled, water clear, tough system designed for the encapsulation of LED chips
in optoelectronic devices. APTEK 6110-A/B provides excellent environmental protection and when casted becomes
the lens portion of the device and displays excellent clarity and light transmissivity. APTEK 6110-A/B was formulated
to display minimal attack to clear plastic cases - especially polysulphone and polycarbonate.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Low viscosity for potting of small device casings
• Sufficient surface tension for blob-top applications on ceramic sensors
• Minimum discoloration with prolonged heat aging up to 105

Handling Notes:
1. Visually inspect containers of Part A before use. It is a very pure material may crystallize upon prolonged storage
below 30-35
°
C. If crystals are present, place the container into 60-70
°
C air circulating oven for 1 to 4 hours until
material is clear liquid. Allow to cool to 25-30
°
C before use. DO NOT FORCE COOL as this may cause
recrystallization.
2. Part B is moisture sensitive and will react with atmospheric moisture to form a white “crystal-like” solid, which will not
melt when heated. To avoid this phenomenon, reseal container immediately after use and, if possible, purge with dry
nitrogen or argon before resealing. This purging step and immediate resealing will help to minimize the white “crystal-
like” formation.
3. For best results, transfer degassed A/B mixtures to syringes for dispensing. Syringes may be frozen and stored for
up to one month at -40°C or below for future use.

MIXING
Weigh 100 parts by weight of APTEK 6110 Part A into a clean, dry, glass, metal or plastic container and then add 35
parts of APTEK 6110 Part B. Machine mix at slow speed or hand stir with glass or metal stirrer until complete and
thorough blending in achieved. Care should be taken to avoid any source of moisture contamination or air entrapment
during mix. Mixture may be warmed to 30
°
C maximum to facilitate degassing and handling.
Note: For best results and void free castings vacuum mixture (25-30
°
C) at less than 15mm Hg for 1-2 minutes after
break. Stop vacuuming if when material starts to boil.

SAFETY AND FIRST AID
APTEK 6110-A is safe to handle when used properly. Contact with skin or eyes can cause irritation and possible
allergic skin reaction with prolonged or repeated use. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and use in a well-ventilated
area and avoid breathing vapors. Incase of eye contact, flush with fresh clean water for at least 15 minutes; for skin
contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If swallowed, drink at least one pint of water and call a physician. Refer
to Material Safety Data Sheet for more details.
APTEK 6110-B is safe to handle when used properly. It may cause eye irritation, possible eye damage, skin irritation
and possible allergic skin reaction with direct contact. Prolonged inhalation of vapors may result in breathlessness,
coughing, and irritation of mucous membranes. Avoid skin and eye contact and use in a well-ventilated area. In case
of eye contact, flush profusely with fresh clean water for 15 minutes and contact a physician. For skin contact, wash
thoroughly with soap and water. If inhaled, move subject to fresh air and provide fresh water to drink. If swallowed,
dilute with at least one pint of water and contact physician immediately. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for more
details.
