Chemtronics CW2460 CircuitWorks Conductive Epoxy, 2-Part Silver Epoxy, 2 x 10g Jars
Chemtronics CW2460 CircuitWorks Conductive Epoxy — 2-Part Silver Epoxy, 2 x 10g Jars
CircuitWorks CW2460 Conductive Epoxy is a two-part silver-filled epoxy engineered for high-strength conductive bonding in PCB repair, prototype development, and general electronics assembly. Mixing the adhesive and hardener yields a five-minute working time with fast room-temperature cure — no soldering iron required. For accelerated cure, simply heat to 212°F (100°C). The epoxy bonds aggressively to a wide range of substrates and delivers excellent electrical conductivity across the bondline.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I mix and use the CW2460 conductive epoxy?
Dispense equal parts of adhesive (Part A) and hardener (Part B) onto a clean mixing surface and combine thoroughly. Apply to the prepared substrate within the 5-minute working time. Allow to cure at room temperature or accelerate cure by heating to 212°F (100°C).
Can CW2460 be used instead of solder for PCB trace repair?
Yes. CW2460 is specifically designed for solderless conductive connections and is ideal for repairing traces on temperature-sensitive boards or flex circuits where heat from soldering could cause damage.
What is the shelf life of CW2460?
Refer to the Chemtronics TDS for the most current shelf life data. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maximize shelf life.
Is CW2460 suitable for bonding to flexible substrates?
CW2460 is formulated for rigid and semi-rigid substrates. For flexible PCB repair applications, consider the CircuitWorks CW2900 Flex Conductive Pen, which is specifically engineered for flexible circuits.
Does the CW2460 require surface preparation?
For best adhesion, clean the substrate surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove flux residue, oils, and contamination before applying the epoxy. Rough or abraded surfaces improve mechanical bond strength.
