Adhesive offers Superior Strength, Toughness and Chemical Resistance

 

September 19, 2007-Master Bond EP30D-12 is a uniquely versatile two component elastomer featuring superior strength, toughness and unusually superior chemical resistance developed by Master Bond Inc.EP30D-12 combines the recognized advantageous performance characteristics of epoxy resins such as adhesive strength, and chemical resistance with those of the polyurethane’s; including toughness, abrasion resistance and flexibility.  The outcome is a product with high physical strength properties, such as a 7500 psi tensile strength, a notable flexibility of 440% elongation at break combined with superior chemical resistance and durability manifested in low water absorption, low moisture permeability and high hydrolytic stability.

 

EP30D-12 is easily processable in both thick and thin sections. Because of the low viscosity of the blended mixture, the compound flows easily and smoothly even around intricate geometries. Parts more than one inch thick can be cast without undue exotherm development. EP30D-12 system cures with minimal shrinkage in 5 to 6 hours at ambient temperatures to a tough elastomer with remarkably good resistance to thermal cycling and chemicals including water, inorganic salts, alkalis and acids as well as many organic chemicals. Adhesion to metals, glass, concrete, ceramics, wood, vulcanized rubbers and many plastics is excellent over the temperature range of -60°F to more than 250°F (-50˚C-120˚C). EP30D-12 is recommended for high performance bonding, sealing, casting, potting and encapsulation applications in the electronic, electrical, construction, metalworking, automotive and chemical process industries. It is available in premixed bi-packs and cartridge/gun packaging for convenient dispensing as well as in pint, quart, gallon and 5 gallon container kits.
