Versatile claims for isolating epoxy adhesive
Master Bond EP21AO is a two component, thermally conductive, electrically isolating epoxy adhesive with a forgiving 1 to 1 mix ratio by weight or volume.
It has an index of refraction of 1.58.
EP21TP-2 bonds exceptionally well to metals, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanised rubbers and many plastics and readily develops a high bonding strength of more than 207bar at room temperature.
It produces durable, high-strength and tough, flexible bonds which are resistant to thermal cycling and chemicals including water, oil, fuel and most organic solvents.
EP21TP-2 is serviceable over the temperature range of -62C to 121C and has good low-temperature flexibility.
Master Bond EP21TP-2 can be applied without sagging or dripping even on vertical surfaces.
Unlike many other epoxy adhesives, it is relatively insensitive to mixing ratio or substrate cleaning procedures.
The hardened adhesive/sealant is an electrical insulator and fully meets the requirements for polysulfide/epoxy type sealants.
Typical optical applications range from bonding and potting fibre-optic cables, connectors and terminations, and upgrading the vibration and shock resistance of electro-optic assemblies.
Other applications include cementing and coating optical parts, potting LED devices, optical replications, bonding ferrules and connectors, and coating or encapsulating a wide variety of aerospace, fuel tank and laser components. Request a free brochure from Master Bond ...
