Special purpose adhesive and sealant for use with glass, non plastic and other non-reactive materials.

Fast-drying (20 minutes)
Refractive index close to glass (1.510)
Chemically neutral, little sensitivity to water, no reaction to staining
Temperature limits: –17 to 42 °C
Not affected by ultraviolet light, non yellowing, stays optically clear for over 10 years
Spreads quickly and evenly without forming any air bubbles

Can be used in place of epoxy resins for mounting petrographic thin sections, used in fluorescence dyes in bones.
