Epoxy Compressive Strength

Compressive strength is the measure of the ability of a material to resist compressive forces. In other words, it is the force per unit area that the specimen can withstand in compression without failure. This is one of the important mechanical properties of an epoxy and it plays a vital role in selection of an epoxy in various structural applications.

Checklist of Questions To Consider When Using an Adhesive

General Considerations

  • What surfaces will be bonded?
  • What is the bond area geometry?
  • What bond line thickness is required?
  • What bond strength is needed?
  • What physical forces will effect the joint?
  • Is a rigid or a flexible bond desired?
  • Will the assembly be exposed to high or low temperatures?

Modulus, Poisson’s Ratio and Elongation

Modulus and elongation are two important properties of a material, which are determined by tensile tests. A stress-strain curve plays an important role in determining these material properties. The slope of the stress-strain curve, where the stress is proportional to strain, is called the Young’s Modulus or Modulus of Elasticity. It is a measure of the stiffness of the material.

Potting and Sealing Electronic Components

Technologically advanced epoxy formulations play an essential role in the protection of electronic components. As applications become increasingly demanding, the need for higher performing systems grows more critical. Master Bond has met this challenge.

Thixotropic Polymer Systems

Fluids can be categorized as Newtonian and non-Newtonian. The viscosity of the Newtonian fluids remains constant at all shear rates at a constant temperature and pressure. But, for a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity varies with the shear rate and time. Thixotropic epoxies are non-Newtonian fluids which are gel-like at rest, but tend to flow when agitated or stressed.
