For Enhanced Machinability



HACKENSACK, NJ - May 8, 2003 -- A new room temperature curing, aluminum filled two component epoxy adhesive called EP22 has been introduced by Master Bond Inc. Hackensack N.J.  This system has an easy to use one to one mix ratio by weight or volume.  It produces durable high strength and tough bonds with outstanding adhesion to metals, particularly steel and aluminum.  Bonds are remarkably resistant to thermal cycling and chemicals including water, oil and most organic solvents.
