Insulative adhesive wards off shocks

Polymer System EP31 has been developed by Master Bond. This two-part system features extraordinary adhesion with a lap shear strength exceeding 4,600 psi, a peel strength surpassing 40 pli, a tensile modulus of more than 410,000 psi and a flexural strength of over 13,000 psi.

With an excellent resistance to many chemicals including water, oil and fuels, it is also an outstanding electrical insulator. EP31 has a versatile cure schedule and can cure at room temperature or more quickly at elevated temperatures. Other notable characteristics include a Shore D Hardness of greater than 75 and low shrinkage upon cure. It is easily processed with a convenient 3 to 1 mix ratio by weight and has a service temperature range of -60ºF to 250ºF.
