Formulated for bonding and sealing applications, Master Bond EP46HT-1AO is widely used in the aerospace, electronic and specialty OEM industries. Unlike most conventional two component epoxies, EP46HT-1AO cures with the addition of heat, which allows it to have a working life exceeding 24 hours. It has a forgiving 100 to 30 mix ratio by weight…

AI Technology, Inc. (AIT) introduces COOL-PAD™ CPR7154, a new class of thermal interface material that dispenses like a thermal pad, but performs with characteristics like that of a grease or gel when device temperatures increase to above 45°C. COOL-PAD™ CPR7154 is optimized to accommodate large areas with different heights and gaps of less than 3-mil…

Henkel Corporation has developed two new highly flexible instant adhesives, Loctite® 4902™ and Loctite® 4903™, that offer elongations up to 155% and provide high-strength bonds in seconds. Both cyanoacrylate adhesives bond reliably to plastics, rubbers, metals and other substrates and offer ISO 10993 biocompatibility for use on disposable medical devices. These one-part, low-viscosity instant adhesives…
