Tough Epoxies That Go “Soft”
By Robert Michaels, Vice-President of Technical Sales, Master Bond Reprint Info >> The chief shortcoming of epoxy compounds is that they can be too rigid for use in some applications. Ductile adhesives, on the other hand, can better absorb the stresses caused by thermal expansion differences between the two substrates. Toughened epoxies feature crucial performance…
One-part Epoxy With High Tensile Strength
EP15 compound epoxy is for testing the adhesion or cohesion strength of flame sprayed coatings per the ASTM C633 specification. It bonds to many similar and dissimilar substrates such as metals and ceramics. The product has a tensile strength that exceeds 12,000 psi at room temperature, offers dimensional stability with minimal shrinkage upon cure, and…
