Metal Adhesive Achieves Superior Bonding Strength

Product News Tuesday, March 31, 2009: Master Bond Inc

Master Bond's array of metal adhesives sends mechanical fastening, welding and other thermal joining methods to the shadows of history. Adhesive bonding is effectively applied on dissimilar metal substrates with different melting points. It evenly distributes stress loads over a broad bonding line rather than a concentrated area, thereby reducing stress on joints. One of these advanced adhesive products is Master Bond's Supreme 10HT. It is a one part, heat resistant adhesive formulated to cure at elevated temperatures and offers excellent metal bonding performance and easy, fast assemblies. Serviceable over a remarkably wide temperature range of 4 K to over 205°C, it exhibits superior resistance to impact, thermal shock, vibration and fatigue cracking, all important factors affecting the metal bond strength. In addition, this metal adhesive withstands severe thermal cycling and resists many chemicals including water, oil, fuels and most organic solvents even upon prolonged exposures. It has been tested for and meets NASA low outgassing specifications.

Master Bond Supreme 10HT achieves strong bonds featuring high shear and peel strength between aluminum, brass, titanium, steel, Nitenol, Kovar as well as between rubbers and plastic to metal. Outstanding processing advantages facilitate the handling of the adhesive; no mixing is necessary prior to use, the high viscosity remains constant with time and unlimited working life is retained at room temperature.

Master Bond Supreme10HT's high performance coupled with its convenient handling properties makes it viable for use in a variety of metal bonding applications.

Master Bond Inc is a leading epoxy manufacturer offering a wide range of one and two component adhesive systems for bonding metals: aluminum, cast iron, stainless steel and titanium. Formulations speed productivity, reduce waste, save energy and enhance produce capabilities. Master Bond products are employed in industries ranging from aerospace and electronics to oil/chemical processing, medical and automotive.
