Selecting the right adhesive is a balancing act as engineers attempt to find products that meet conflicting end-use and manufacturability requirements. Medical device engineers also have to contend with a strict regulatory environment, and therefore often have the toughest time striking that balance.

Silicone adhesive systems have several important performance characteristics that distinguish them from other adhesive families. Learn more about their unique combination of flexibility, high temperature resistance, and more specialized engineering properties.

Epoxies meet the unique challenges faced in solar applications. Solar equipment must endure the intense conditions and relentless extremes of Mother Nature. Fortunately, epoxy technology has advanced at a very fast pace; these compounds offer high mechanical strength properties, superior dimensional stability and excellent adhesion to a wide range of substrates.

Fast cure adhesives are a great way to reduce assembly costs, but engineers would be wise to question the need for speed when selecting adhesives. In this white paper, Master Bond provides an overview of the different types of fast cure adhesives, including one and two part epoxies, one and two part silicones, cyanoacrylates and UV curables.

Engineers often want to know whether an adhesive is low outgassing or generic. And while there are cases when nothing but a low outgassing product will do, the truth is that many so-called generic adhesives inherently have low outgassing levels. What's more, most bonding, potting, encapsulation and sealing applications don't need to meet a defined outgassing specification.

Master Bond’s white paper offers a guide to evaluating and selecting epoxies for the electrical industry. This article closely examines the advantages of one and two part epoxy systems over traditionally used mechanical attachments, specifically in applications involving motors and generators.
