New White Paper: Clearly Superior Epoxies for Optical Applications

As technology in the optics industry continues to advance and improve, careful consideration of the properties of epoxies must be evaluated. Here is a guide to the different properties to consider, their benefits and potential disadvantages and advice on how to prioritize these factors for the success of the application.

Room Temperature Curing, Optically Clear Epoxy

image
EP30HT cures rigid with exceptional dimensional stability and superb physical strength properties. Its shrinkage upon curing is very low—less than 0.1%. Most notably, this two part epoxy combines good high temperature resistance with excellent optical clarity. It also conforms to Title 21, FDA Chapter 1, Section 175.105 for indirect food applications.

One Component Silicone with High Transparency

image
MasterSil 415 silicone adhesive/sealant is widely employed for its reliable and high quality performance for bonding, and sealing metal and most plastics where transparency is a critical factor. It has a paste consistency and will not sag, slump or run off surfaces. It cures at ambient temperatures to a flexible rubbery solid when exposed to atmospheric moisture.

Nanosilica Filled UV Curable Epoxy System

With superb optical clarity and abrasion resistance, UV22 will cure quickly and easily when exposed to a UV light source. Cationic systems, such as UV22, tend to have much higher temperature resistance than other UV type systems. Its glass transition temperature (Tg) with a straight UV cure is 100°C, and when post cured for 30 minutes at 125-150°C, the Tg is 135°C.

NASA Low Outgassing Adhesive

image
EP21TCHT-1 is a two component, thermally conductive, heat resistant epoxy compound formulated to cure at ambient temperatures or more rapidly at elevated temperatures. It is cryogenically serviceable over the wide temperature range of 4K to 400°F. This epoxy can withstand rigorous thermal cycling and shocks. Its thermal expansion coefficient is remarkably low.

Silver Conductive, Toughened One Part System

image
This user friendly, no mix epoxy system offers a remarkable array of properties along with impressive electrical conductivity. Serviceable from 4K to 400°F, Supreme 10HTS has superb bond strength both in shear and peel. It is formulated to withstand rigorous thermal cycling as well as thermal and mechanical shocks. It fully meets NASA low outgassing specifications.
