Two Component, Room Temperature Curable, Heat Resistant Epoxy Adhesive, Sealant, Coating & Casting System Featuring Resistance to Sterilization Including Radiation, Chemicals and Steam.
Master Bond Polymer System EP42HT-2HV1 is a room temperature curable two component epoxy, adhesive, sealant, coating and casting material featuring high temperature resistance along with outstanding chemical resistance. It is capable of withstanding repeated sterilizations, including radiation, ethylene oxide, chemical sterilants and steam. While EP42HT-2HV1 is a superior adhesive, sealant and coating, it is also castable to thicknesses exceeding 2-3 inches. EP42HT-2HV1 cures readily at ambient or more quickly at elevated temperatures. One particularly popular cure schedule is overnight at room temperature followed by 2-4 hours at 150-200°F.
It has an easy to use 100 to 40 mix ratio by weight. The cured epoxy compound is resistant to various types of sterilizations, inorganic and organic acids, alkalis, organic solvents and aromatic hydrocarbons. EP42HT-2HV1 is an excellent electrical insulator. Especially noteworthy is its serviceability from -60°F up to +450°F, combined with resistance to steam, chemicals and radiation. EP42HT-2HV1 is widely used in electronic, electrical, fiber optic, optical and OEM type applications. To optimize physical properties including heat resistance, a post cure of 100-130°C for 2-3 hours is recommended.
