Master Bond UV17Med is a one part, no mix, UV curable system. It was specially formulated to provide excellent adhesion to many TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethanes), which are widely recognized as challenging substrates for bonding. This compound provides very good toughness with a high elongation of 50-60%. UV17Med passes stringent ISO10993-5 cytotoxicity standards.

UV17Med cures in 10-30 seconds when exposed to a UV light source emitting at a wavelength of 320-365 nm with an energy output of 20-40 milliwatts/cm². It is recommended that one of the surfaces to be bonded is transparent, without UV blocking agents, so as to allow the light to penetrate the substrate’s surface with no shadows. This flowable system features a low viscosity of 500-3,000 cps, a tensile modulus measuring between 30,000-50,000 psi, and a service temperature range from -80°F to 250°F.

This non-cytotoxic system is formulated for demanding applications in the medical industry, and is capable of withstanding many chemicals including liquid sterilants, antimicrobial agents, Ethylene Oxide (EtO), e-beam, and gamma radiation. In addition to TPUs, UV17Med bonds well to metals, glass, ceramics and many plastics. It is available in a wide range of packaging options, including ½ pint, pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallon containers. It can also be purchased in convenient syringe applicators for automated dispensing.

Master Bond EP4G-80Med is a one part epoxy designed for use in the assembly of medical devices. This system is formulated with a non-metallic, graphite filler, which leads to good thermal and electrical conductivity. It possesses a thermal conductivity of 1.44-1.73 W/(m•K) and a volume resistivity of 50-100 ohm-cm. Furthermore, it complies with the ISO 10993-5 guidelines and is considered to be non-cytotoxic.

EP4G-80Med bonds well to a variety of substrates including metals, glass, ceramics, rubbers and many plastics. It is very effective as an EMI/RFI shielding compound and can also be used for static dissipation purposes. This system does not need high heat to cure; it cures readily in 60-90 minutes at 80°C. Post curing for 1-2 hours at 80°C is commonly recommended as it will optimize the overall properties of the epoxy. Its curing profile makes it suitable for many applications involving heat sensitive substrates. “The product’s unique feature is that despite incorporating a graphite based filler material it actually exhibits an excellent flow profile, especially for an electrically conductive system, with a viscosity of 4,000-10,000 cps. It also provides a low coefficient of thermal expansion of around 15-20 ppm/C at room temperature”, says Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer.

EP4G-80Med is a dimensionally stable epoxy that offers a tensile strength of 2,000-3,000 psi, a tensile modulus exceeding 750,000 psi and a Shore D hardness of 75-85 at 75°F. This system has a high glass transition temperature of 130-140°C and is serviceable over the temperature range of -50°C to +175°C. It can withstand exposure to water, antimicrobial agents and many chemical sterilants. EP4G-80Med has a relatively long working life of 8-12 hours and must be refrigerated or frozen for storage. This black in color product is packaged in 10cc and 30 cc syringes, which are shipped in dry ice. After thawing it is easy to apply. EP4G-80Med does not contain any solvents and is RoHS compliant.

Master Bond EP35AOLV is a two part heat cured epoxy system, designed for bonding, sealing, coating and potting applications. It is a thermally conductive, electrically insulating compound that withstands aggressive chemicals, such as those found in downhole oil and gas processing. EP35AOLV exhibits superior protection against corrosion in various harsh environments and helps prolong longevity of critical equipment. With a service range that extends from -60°F to 500°F (52°C to 260°C) and a glass transition temperature of around 165-170°C, it is resistant to high temperatures.

The thermal conductivity value for EP35AOLV is 7-8 BTU•in/(ft² •hr•°F) [1-1.15 W/(m•K)], and its compressive strength measures 24,000-26,000 psi. It is a filled system that has good dimensional stability and low shrinkage upon curing. “EP35AOLV has been designed not only to handle aggressive chemicals, but also to resist high temperature and high pressure environments. Additionally, it has an extremely high tensile modulus of more than 1,000,000 psi at 75°F”, says Rohit Ramnath, Senior Product Engineer.

The ideal cure schedule is 2 to 3 hours at 300°F, followed by 3 to 4 hours at 300-350°F. EP35AOLV has a forgiving 100 to 50 mix ratio by weight, and is flowable, with a mixed viscosity of 50,000-90,000 cps. It adheres well to a wide variety of substrates such as metals, composites, glass, and high temperature plastics such as PEEK. EP35AOLV is available in standard packaging from ounce kits to gallon kits.
