Adhesives for Space Applications

Selecting the right adhesive for space applications is extremely important, mainly due to the high vacuum (around 10-8 Torr) and the variation in temperatures. A key concern is the outgassing property of these adhesives. Any outgassing might lead to contamination of electronic or optical components, which can have a drastic impact on the optical properties of the system.

The Importance of Dielectric Strength for Electrically Insulative Epoxies

Dielectric strength can be defined as the maximum voltage required to cause a dielectric breakdown through the product. In other words, it is the measure of the insulating strength of a material.

Advantages of Adhesives Over Mechanical Assembly

Structural adhesives now offer a new solution to replace traditional mechanical assembly. These kinds of adhesives are user-friendly and allow for the permanent assembly of similar and dissimilar substrates.

What Is an Epoxy Adhesive?

When considering the effectiveness of an epoxy adhesive, it is useful to analyze the general formulation of the compounds that constitute it. Epoxies are created by polymerizing a mixture of two starting compounds, the resin and the hardener. When resin is mixed with a specified catalyst, curing is initiated.

High Temperature Epoxies Increase the Service Range of Tantalum Capacitors

The demand for capacitors that can reliably perform in high temperature applications has sharply increased in the microelectronic industry, particularly for aerospace, defense, transportation and oil, gas and chemical processing applications.

Importance of Optical Transmittance

To meet increasing industrial demands, Master Bond has developed a number of systems that display outstanding optical transmittance. Optical transmission refers to the ability for light to be channeled through a material. This property is particularly important for fiber optic, opto-electronic and photonic applications.

Why Use a Silicone Adhesive?

With the vast supply of adhesives available, silicone adhesives stand out from the crowd. Based on elastomeric technology, silicone adhesives offer unparalleled flexibility and exceptionally high heat resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in the electrical, electronic, automotive, aerospace and construction industries.
