Master Bond Adhesives,
Sealants, Coatings
and Potting & Encapsulation Compounds
Master Bond has the products and expertise you need. We solve
problems and specialize in optical applications. Our line of
products includes one and two component epoxies, silicones, polyurethanes
and one component UV curable compounds. For rapid, room temperature
curing applications we offer single part cyanoacrylates. Some
of the outstanding features of our optical systems are excellent
light transmission characteristics, superior non-yellowing
properties along with a range of systems where the index
of refraction ranges
from a relatively low 1.43 up to 1.61. All Master Bond products
have been carefully processed to exclude such potentially objectionable
contaminants as chlorine and other halogens as well as sodium
and related elements.
Our formulations are available for use in small to large quantities
and are freshly prepared to ensure maximum shelf life. Particularly
noteworthy are grades that offer exceptional water resistance,
NASA low outgassing approval, high thermal stability and low
stress properties. Additionally special compounds have low temperature/cryogenic
serviceability, superior thermal conductivity and are able to
withstand exposure to vibration, impact and shock.
Master
Bond works closely with both material suppliers and research
institutes to utilize the most advanced polymeric materials.
We offer innovative solutions and have developed many unique
compounds to enhance performance properties and processing requirements.
Of particular interest is Master
Bond EP30-3, a two component
epoxy with superior chemical resistance, optical clarity and
serviceability up to 400°F. Another highly unusual compound
is Master Bond EP37-3FLF.
It has a very high flexibility, low viscosity, optical clarity
and cures at room temperatures. One component UV14-3 provides
fast cures at ambient temperatures upon UV light exposure and
is easily removable by conventional solvents. It also possesses
a very low index of refraction of 1.450. Master
Bond UV18S has superb resistance to acids, bases
and solvents and substantially less shrinkage upon cure than
conventional UV cure systems. Water vapor permeability is also
excellent. Need technical assistance? Contact

Master Bond's optical products are designed
to offer superior quality and long term durability. They have
earned a well deserved reputation for their performance upon
exposure to hostile environmental conditions. Select from a wide
range of one and two component systems conveniently packaged
for ease of use. These compounds are available for use in different
viscosities, cure times, chemical resistance, electrical properties,
colors, etc. to best meet specific requirements. They are presently
employed in applications ranging from design and production to
repair, maintenance and field service.
