DESCRIPTION :
Epocast® 1652-A/B epoxy syntactic is a low-density system with good elevated temperature performance after a
room-temperature cure. The epoxy syntactic is suitable for core filling metal skins, adding stiffness and strength
to fabricated parts such as helicopter rotor blades, core splicing, and strengthening radii and corners of reinforced
plastic structures. Epocast® 1652-A/B epoxy syntactic is qualified to Grumman GM 4006, Gulfstream GMS 4005
and Sikorsky 9587, Type 2.
