Easily mixed polymer cures at room temperature
The epoxy resin provides high physical strength properties, adhesion and resistance to solvents, water and alkalis.
Epoxy-resin system resists high temperatures
Cures to a tough, strong solid with excellent long term durability and chemical resistance even when exposed to adverse environmental conditions.
When exposed to a source of UV light of appropriate wave length and intensity, it cures in seconds to produce optically clear, durable, flexible, non-yellowing and chemically resistant adhesives, sealants or coatings with excellent electrical insulation properties.
The moisture cure feature assures that the material cures successfully on complex parts where exposure to UV light is difficult or impossible to achieve.
Alternatively, pure RTV cures can be accomplished within 24 hours at ambient temperatures or faster at elevated temperatures.
Master Bond's UV71DC, UV and/or RTV cured polymer system can be employed over the wide temperature range of -62 to 205C (-80 to 400F).
Cured adhesives exhibit a most desirable combination of properties including outstanding durability, flexibility, thermal shock resistance as well as excellent adhesion to many different substrates ranging from glass and aluminum to polyester films and polycarbonates.
It has been formulated to have a refractive index of 1.41, a volume thermal expansion coefficient of 10/C, a tensile strength of 110 psi and a Shore A Hardness of 25. Request a free brochure from Master Bond ...
