Clear Epoxy Offers Superior Dimensional Stability

Product News Thursday, October 15, 2009: Master Bond Inc

Master Bond’s newly developed EP30LV-1 is a low viscosity, optically clear epoxy for general purpose bonding, coating, sealing and casting. Linear shrinkage after cure is an exceptionally low 0.0003 inches/in. Its dimensional stability and low shrinkage make it an ideal optical epoxy. Master Bond EP30LV-1 forms powerful bonds with both similar and dissimilar materials including metals, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanized rubbers and many plastics. These high strength and rigid bonds are remarkably resistant to chemicals including oil, water and most organic solvents, as well as cold sterilants, ETO and gamma radiation. The two part epoxy compound is formulated to cure at room temperatures.

EP30LV-1 offers easy application. The adhesive spreads readily and only contact pressure is required for cure. The hardened adhesive is an electrical insulator. Master Bond Polymer System EP30LV-1 is widely used in optical, electronic, electrical, computer, metalworking, appliance, automotive and chemical industries. It is especially recommended where low viscosity is required for ease of application and bonded assemblies must exhibit superior dimensional stability.
