Product Description
LOCTITE PE 3164 is the clear epoxy hardener component used as Part B with LOCTITE PE 3140 resin in a two-part potting system. As supplied, PE 3164 has 105 cP viscosity at 25 deg C using spindle 2 at 20 rpm and a specific gravity of 0.97. The PE 3140 and PE 3164 system mixes at 2:1 resin-to-hardener by volume and has a 10 to 15 minute work time for a 400 g mass at 25 deg C. Cure time is 16 hours at 25 deg C or 2 hours at 66 deg C.
Key features
- 105 cP Hardener Viscosity: PE 3164 hardener viscosity is 105 cP at 25 deg C using spindle 2 at 20 rpm.
- 2:1 PE 3140 Volume Mixing: The PE 3140 and PE 3164 system uses a 2:1 resin-to-hardener ratio by volume.
- Paired-System Working Time: The PE 3140 and PE 3164 system has a 10 to 15 minute work time for a 400 g mass at 25 deg C.
Applications
Hardener component for the LOCTITE PE 3140 two-part potting system.

Specific Gravity
0.96
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.
For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
Physical Properties
Viscosity
450 mPa.s
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
