Background
Adhesive
manufacturer Master Bond Inc offers over 3,000 different grades of
specially designed formulations. They differ in viscosity, cure speed,
temperature resistance, chemical resistance, strength, electrical properties,
color etc. These products are specifically designed to solve design,
manufacturing and repair/maintenance problems. They will increase productivity,
reduce waste, save energy and improve your products performance. They are the
perfect solution.
| Epoxies are the most widely used
polymeric materials for adhesives, sealants, coatings, pottings and
encapsulations and impregnants. They are available in both one and two
component systems. Two part systems can be cured at either room temperature
or elevated temperature. One part systems must be cured at elevated
temperatures (typically 250 - 300°F). One part systems curable by
UV light are also available.
Conformal coatings are essential materials for enhancing
the long term reliability and performance of electronic assemblies,
particularly when exposed to harsh conditions such as high humidity,
corrosive chemicals and extreme temperatures. |
