Performance Properties for Master Bond's Low Outgassing Adhesives

These compounds are designed for applications where contamination control is critical, including disk drives, flat panel displays, advanced avionics, and aerospace systems. Low outgassing adhesives are essential in vacuum and sensitive environments to prevent fogging of optics and sensors, maintain optical clarity, and ensure reliable long-term performance. They are widely used in space and satellite systems, optical assemblies such as cameras, telescopes, and lasers, as well as high-vacuum scientific instruments, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and aerospace electronics—where even minimal outgassing can compromise functionality.

Available grades offer a combination of key performance properties, including:

• Electrical conductivity or electrical insulation
• Thermal conductivity for effective heat dissipation
• Excellent high- and low-temperature resistance
• Dimensional stability with low shrinkage
• Optical clarity for precision optical assemblies
• Proven vacuum compatibility for space and high-vacuum processing
