Adhesion to metals, concrete, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanised rubbers and many plastics is excellent.
Bonds are highly resistant to exposure to vibration, impact and shock.
EP30D-9 has been specifically formulated to resist exposure to water, salts, alkalis, acids and many organic chemicals over the exceptionally wide temperature range of -50 to +120C.
A special high purity aluminium oxide is added to maximise performance in hostile environments.
EP30D-9 is 100% reactive and does not contain any solvents or diluents.
It has extremely low shrinkage on cure.
EP30D-9 is available for use in pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallon container kits. Request a free brochure from Master Bond ...
