Master Bond EP46HT-2MedMaster
Bond EP46HT-2 is a two component medical grade epoxy for high
performance structural bonding and casting applications. It features
exceptional heat resistance with a glass transition temperature greater
than 220°C and a service temperature range of -100°F to +500°F. This USP
Class VI approved system is able to withstand repeated cycles of
various sterilization methods including radiation, chemical sterilants
and autoclaving. Some additional product advantages include:
- Convenient mixing: product properties relatively unaffected by small changes in mix ratio of 100:30 by weight
- High bonding strength to similar and dissimilar substrates
- Superior durability to thermal shock and vibration
- 100% reactive, does not contain any solvents or diluents, excellent dimensional stability
- Excellent electrical insulation properties even upon prolonged exposure to hostile environments

product description.
Master Bond offers a wide array of adhesives, sealants and coatings that
have been formulated to withstand repeated cycles of various
sterilization techniques. These range from autoclaving and EtO to
radation and cold chemical steriliants. Our line of sterilization
resistant adhesives all meet USP Class VI specifications and are
effectively employed in reusable and disposable medical devices.
When
a polymer system such as an epoxy adhesive, potting compound or sealant
is heated, significant changes occur in mechanical strength properties
and thermal, electrical and chemical resistance which do not necessarily
recover upon cooling. While these changes generally take place over a
limited temperature range, a single temperature called the glass
transition temperature (Tg) is generally selected for convenience.
