One Component Epoxy

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.

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.

Master Bond formulates a wide variety of versatile adhesive systems used to bond multiple types of plastics such as:
