Ultra-Low Viscosity, Biocompatible Epoxy Offers Optical Clarity

Master Bond EP4CL-80Med is a one part, optically clear epoxy developed for use in medical device assembly applications. It withstands repeated sterilization cycles and passes ISO 10993-5 testing for non-cytotoxicity. This product cures at moderate temperatures of around 80-85°C within 60 to 90 minutes and faster at slightly higher temperatures. As a one part, non-premixed and frozen system, it contains no solvents, and has an “unlimited” working life at room temperature. Suitable for bonding, sealing, impregnating, and coating, it provides a high glass transition temperature of 155-160°C and has an extremely low viscosity of 50-150 cps at 25°C. This allows it to be applied by brushing, spraying, and spin coating.

EP4CL-80Med provides notable strength properties including a compressive strength of 12,000-14,000 psi and a high tensile modulus of 450,000-500,000 psi at room temperature. It is serviceable over the temperature range of -62°C to +232°C. This compound is an excellent electrical insulator with a volume resistivity of more than 1014 ohm-cm at room temperature and has a refractive index of 1.52 at 25°C. EP4CL-80Med has good resistance to many sterilization methods, including autoclaving, dry heat, radiation, and chemical sterilants. Furthermore, it resists vaporized hydrogen peroxide, a sterilization technology from STERIS®. It bonds well to a variety of substrates such as metals, composites, ceramics, and many plastics. Packaging is available in jars and cans, as well as syringes.

Toughened One Part Epoxy Withstands Thermal Cycling

Master Bond EP17TF is a one part epoxy with a paste consistency, that can be readily dispensed evenly and uniformly. It has a moderately high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 150-155°C and a wide service temperature range from -150°F to +550°F. Designed to compensate for thermal mismatches, this compound resists impact, vibration, shock and rigorous thermal cycling.

EP17TF is a reliable electrical insulator, possessing a volume resistivity greater than 1015 ohm-cm and a dielectric constant of 4.5 at 60 Hz at room temperature. It maintains its electrical insulation properties, even at higher temperatures. The system has good toughness with an elongation of 5-10%. EP17TF exhibits superior strength properties, bonding well to similar and dissimilar substrates such as metal, ceramics, plastics and composites. It offers a high lap shear strength of 3,200-3,400 psi, a tensile strength of 8,000-9,000 psi and a tensile modulus of 350,000-400,000 psi at 75°F.

EP17TF requires an elevated temperature cure of 300°F for 5-6 hours, followed by a post cure at 350°F for 4-5 hours. The additional post cure is recommended to achieve optimal strength, chemical resistance and thermal properties. EP17TF withstands many chemicals, including acids, bases, fuels, oils and many solvents. It is available in standard packaging from ½ pint containers up to 5 gallon pails. Containers should be refrigerated to extend shelf life.

Low Viscosity, Electrically Conductive Epoxy Meets ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity Standards

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.
