What are the mold release options for casting with an epoxy?

Epoxies are thermoset polymers with impressive physical strength, temperature, and chemical resistance among many other desirable properties. They have many functions not just limited to bonding, sealing, and coating, but also for casting applications.

Non-Premixed and Frozen, One Part Epoxy for Chip Coating

Featuring a combination of thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties, Master Bond Supreme 3CCM-85 is a new single component epoxy initially designed for glob top and chip coating applications. However, this system can also be utilized for encapsulation and bonding. Supreme 3CCM-85 cures within 2-3 hours at 175-185°F [80-85°C], which is advantageous for use on heat sensitive components and substrates.

Supreme 3CCM-85 is a toughened adhesive system, that bonds well to a variety of similar and dissimilar substrates. It has a high volume resistivity of more than 1014 ohm-cm and a thermal conductivity of 5-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F [0.72-1.44 W/(m•K)]. The system is serviceable from -100°F to +350°F [-73°C to +177°C].

Since Supreme 3CCM-85 is not premixed and frozen and has a very long open time at room temperature, it is more convenient to handle and store than typical two component glob top systems. This opaque black compound has a thixotropic paste-like consistency and is easy to apply either manually or with an automated dispenser. Master Bond Supreme 3CCM-85 is available for use in common size syringes ranging from 10 cc to 30 cc as well as in standard size containers.

Toughened, Low Outgassing, One Component Epoxy Features Thermal Cycling Resistance

Master Bond Supreme 17HT is a single component, no mix epoxy system for bonding and sealing applications featuring an unlimited working life at room temperature. “This thermally stable formulation has a high glass transition temperature of 410°F (210°C) and retains its bond strength at elevated temperatures,” says Rohit Ramnath, senior product engineer. “As a toughened system, it is ideal for bonding dissimilar substrates. Supreme 17HT’s unique combination of properties makes it suitable for applications involving repeated exposure to thermal cycling.” It also meets NASA low outgassing specifications per ASTM E595 testing.

Supreme 17HT possesses high bond strength properties with lap shear strength of 1,900-2,100 psi and tensile strength of 7,000-8,000 psi. This system is a reliable electrical insulator with volume resistivity of over 1015 ohm-cm at ambient temperatures and over 1012 ohm-cm at 400°F. It is serviceable from -100°F to +550°F (-73°C to 288°C). Along with its simple handling properties, Supreme 17HT offers a moderate viscosity of 100,000-150,000 cps.

Supreme 17HT cures at elevated temperatures with cure schedule options including 300°F for 5-6 hours or 350°F for 4-5 hours. It is available in standard packaging ranging from ½ pint to 5 gallon containers as well as specialty packaging including cartridges and syringes.

Silver Conductive, One Component Epoxy Cures at 80°C

Master Bond Supreme 3HTS-80 is a one part, silver filled epoxy adhesive that is not premixed and frozen and features an unlimited working life at room temperature. “While typical heat activated epoxies require 250°F to 350°F to cure, Supreme 3HTS-80 cures at 175°F to 185°F within 2-3 hours” says Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer. “Curing at such temperatures makes this system advantageous for bonding applications involving heat sensitive substrates.”

Supreme 3HTS-80 has a volume resistivity of less than 0.05 ohm-cm. Upon curing, it exhibits a hardness of 50-60 Shore D and a high thermal conductivity over 20-25 BTU•in/(ft2•hr•°F) [2.9-3.6 W/(m•K)]. This 100% reactive epoxy bonds well to metals, composites, glass, ceramics, and many plastics. As a toughened system, Supreme 3HTS-80 can withstand thermal cycling and shock with a service operating temperature range from -100°F to +350°F [-73°C to +177°C].

Supreme 3HTS-80 is a thick paste with a specific gravity of 3.9 that can be readily dispensed from a syringe. Storage in a conventional refrigerator is recommended as this system does not require freezing. This compound is packaged in syringes or glass jars with common sizes including 20 grams, 50 grams, 100 grams, 1 pound and multiple pound units.

Benefits of Using Military Grade Adhesives in Non-Military Industrial and Research Applications

Some epoxy compounds successfully meet thermal stability testing standard ASTM D3850-12 per MIL-STD-883J Section 3.5.2 & 3.8.5 for military applications, however these systems can also be used across many other industries where thermal stability is an important requirement.

One Component Glob Top Epoxy Meets NASA Low Outgassing Specifications

Master Bond EP17HTND-CCM is a new single component epoxy that is not premixed and frozen. It is more convenient to handle, apply and store than typical two component glob top systems. This black, heat curable compound has a flowable paste consistency ideal for glob top, chip coating and bonding applications. EP17HTND-CCM meets NASA low outgassing specifications and is serviceable from -80°F to +600°F [-62°C to +316°C]. This adhesive forms high strength bonds to a wide variety of similar/dissimilar substrates such as metals, ceramics, plastics, composites and various circuit board materials.

EP17HTND-CCM is thermally conductive and electrically non-conductive even upon exposure to hostile environmental conditions. EP17HTND-CCM has a high volume resistivity of more than 1015 ohm-cm at 75°F and over 1012 ohm-cm at 400°F. Its thermal conductivity is 9-10 BTU•in/ft2•hr•°F [1.4423 W/(m•K)] at 75°F. Also noteworthy is its ability to resist many chemicals including acids, bases, salts, fuels, oils and many solvents.

How to Start Using a New Epoxy in a Bonding Application

Trying a new epoxy is exciting and challenging, and we would like to share a few thoughts on this subject. Often, there is a tendency to “get right to it” and start the bonding process as soon as possible. In many cases, this may not be a good way to move forward. Epoxies can be tenacious and difficult to remove if something goes wrong.
