Bondmaster has a range of single and two-part structural adhesives that is capable of operating at continuous temperatures of up to 200C.

Bondmaster has a range of single and two-part structural adhesives that is capable of operating at continuous temperatures of up to 200C.

Although resistance to aggressive chemicals comes as standard, Bondmaster ESP4116, ESP4582, E3152 and E3274 each have special individual qualities designed to cater for a broad range of end uses.

ESP4116 is a rapid cure, high-strength single-part epoxy, that can be used in FDA (Food and Drug Administration) type applications.

A typical example is the bonding of filter end caps where the filter will be repeatedly sterilised.

Permabond rapid cure, single-part epoxy ESP4582 can set in as little as 30 seconds using induction heating.

This high-strength adhesive is ideally suited for the bonding of products requiring resistance to high temperatures and harsh chemicals in demanding applications such as in the aerospace market.

In the area of electric motors, ESP4582 is typically suited to bonding magnets onto stators or onto rotors in under- bonnet applications.

E3152 is a two-part epoxy with excellent high temperature performance and resistance to cracking over a wide temperature range.

E3152 has very low shrinkage on curing which makes it suitable for large castings.

It will operate in aggressive chemical environments, for example, in the beer filtration process where it can be used to mould large filter end caps.

Although E3274 will cure at room temperature, it is capable of operating over a much wider range of temperatures than other conventional cold-cured epoxies.

This two-part system will cure at a rate enabling large structures to be bonded and has a large gap fill capability.

It will bond neodymium-iron magnets onto rotors for high-speed motors where heat cure is unsuitable due to potential magnet damage.

E3274 demonstrates a performance of 7 N/mmę lap shear strength at 150C, which is above the requirements normally expected by adhesive specifiers.

"The trend towards smaller components operating at higher speeds in increasingly aggressive environments will put ever greater demands on structural engineering adhesives", says Andy Price, Market Segment Manager at Bondmaster.

"The continuous operating temperatures in many applications is forecast to rise over the next few years.

These new high temperature adhesives will help design engineers create products to meet these needs." The single-part products are available in 320ml cartridges and the two-part systems are available in 210ml cartridges or 1kg containers.
