Master Bond EP42HT-2 Epoxy Adhesive Resists Sterilization

Description: Master Bond Polymer System EP42HT-2 is a room temperature curable, two component epoxy adhesive, sealant, coating and casting material featuring high temperature resistance along with outstanding chemical resistance. While EP42HT-2 is a superior adhesive, sealant and coating, it is also relatively low in exotherm and castable up to 2-3 inches thick. EP42HT-2 cures readily at ambient temperatures or more quickly at elevated temperatures. A desirable cure schedule to optimize its properties is overnight at room temperature followed by 2-4 hours at 150-200°F. EP42HT-2 has an easy to use 100 to 40 mix ratio by weight or 100 to 50 by volume. It is resistant to a wide variety of acids, bases, solvents, fuels, oils and salts. It also has excellent electrical insulation properties. Its service temperature range is from -60°F to 450°F. EP42HT-2 is used in electronic, electrical, fiber-optic, optical and OEM type applications. The color of Part A is clear and Part B is amber. The system has superior optical transmission properties, particularly in thinner sections, as well as a high index of refraction for an epoxy. Product Advantages: Non-critical 100 to 40 mix ratio by weight or 100 to 50 by volume Easy application: only contact pressure required while curing; adhesive spreads readily Excellent chemical resistance to acids, alkalis and many solvents Castable up to thicknesses of 2-3 inches Outstanding physical strength properties Superior optical transmission properties Contains no solventsKey Features Heat, chemical and steam resistance Cures at ambient or elevated temperatures Can be used for bonding, sealing, coating, casting & potting applications Serviceable from -60°F to 450°FInformation provided by MasterBond®
