Decementing Optical Components With Lens Bond Decementing Agent:

The following equipment is required: Tray or flat pan with cover. Laboratory hotplate; tongs or other gripping tools. Work should be done under an exhaust vent or fume hood or well ventilated area.

  1. Place soft paper (or cloth) on the bottom of the tray and place the optical elements in the tray.
  2. Pour sufficient decementing agent over the optical elements to immerse them and allow additional coverage to offset the loss during the heating cycle.
  3. Cover the tray with a lid to reduce the vapor loss and raise the temperature of the hotplate until the liquid boils (approximately 340°F).
  4. Continue to apply the heat until the optical elements are separated.
  5. Remove the elements while hot, and wipe off any excess cement. Place the elements in a clean, dry container until they return to room temperature.
  6. Remove the elements, wash with acetone and dry with cheesecloth. Elements are now ready for recementing.
    CAUTION:
    When boiling, this decementing agent is flammable. Keep away from open flame and spark.

Milsolve: A Decementing Agent For Milbond:

Milsolve is an extremely easy way of separating elements bonded with Milbond. The technician simply immerses the bonded parts in Milsolve for 48 to 72 hours. The elements will completely separate. Care should be taken to seal the container of Milsolve and elements to prevent evaporation and fumes from spreading.

Milbond Separation Film:

The film produced by this solution prevents adhesion of Milbond adhesive to metal and glass surfaces. It is an easy to apply water soluble film that can be applied by brush, spray or dipping the surfaces that the technician wants to protect. After, drying, however, the surfaces cannot be touched by hand. Should Milbond be inadvertently cured on a protected surface, the cured element can be washed or dipped in water and the cured Milbond will slide off protected surfaces as the coating dissolves.

Drying Time:....................Approximately 30 minutes
Shelf Life:........................Approximately 2 years
