Physical Properties
Viscosity Viscosity Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application	10000-25000 mPa.s

Additional Information

Blends of LOCTITE NCI 7002 E&C and LOCTITE ECI 7004HR E&C and LOCTITE ECI 7004LR E&C can be dried in conventional air circulated ovens. Higher temperatures will shorten the drying time and will lead to more stable resistance values.

For high speed production, jet drying, infra-red drying and drying in high speed reel-to-reel equipment can be used. 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.
